Choosing a hard-to-guess, but easy-to-remember password is important!

Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.

Even complex passwords are getting easy to break if they're too short. That's because today's inexpensive computer chips have the power of supercomputers from the year 2000.

By now, you've heard endless warnings about the risk of short, trivial passwords. There's a good chance you ignore them.

I suspect I am like most people on the Internet in that I sign up for all sorts of sites and frequently use the same passwords.

I was addicted to hacking, more for the intellectual challenge, the curiosity, the seduction of adventure; not for stealing, or causing damage or writing computer viruses.

Weak passwords are a crook's best friend. Make yours long and complex, and change them often - not just on your bank account but on your email and social media, too.

Love is great, but not as a password.

My primary goal of hacking was the intellectual curiosity, the seduction of adventure.

The first programming assignment I had in high school was to find the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead, I thought it would be cooler to write a program to get the teacher's password and all the other students' passwords. And the teacher gave me an A and told the class how smart I was.
