It only takes hackers 5 minutes to hack your 6 digit lowercase password. If you change that to 8 character including upper/lower case plus a @&$?! symbol, it takes 200 years. Is your password the same for most of your accounts??? What happens WHEN -not "if"- your email gets hacked with all of your banking info, ssn, etc. Please take the time to setup a longer password NOW. Gmail, Facebook and others now offer a second form of verification when trying to log in from an unrecognized location or when trying to change your password.
Do you know that 20% of you have the name of your child or dog plus a 1 as your password.
