Happy New Year Everyone!

I've been thinking for a while now that it's probably time to change my password.  Then, when I logged back in I see 2FA is now a thing so I thought I'd make the suggestion that others consider changing their passwords.  Besides, how many times do you have your bank or email account (or work for that matter) "suggesting" you change your password?  Quite often I would imagine.

I have not encountered a situation when my email got hacked or I lost my email access. That is something, I feel is an achievement for, knowing how important this forum means to me, I would agree with your point about changing the password of forum password.

Set your password to ten to twelve characters - but not ones that are only found on your phone (otherwise you'll be stuck logging on on you cell phone)  - source a random password generator app and don't use words or phone numbers/birthdays.  (which app do you use?)

Thanks for reminding me what kind of length is needed to set a password. However, this is not something I was not aware of as I have been in this forum for some time now.

As to New Years resolutions - I tend not to make any but am keen to hear what yours are.  In the past, I've tried reading all those books that have been gifted to me over the years.  Read some of them, but not all.  Anyone make weight loss resolutions or quite drugs/smoking/vaping/drinking and fail miserably?

Good for you that you have a resolution as for me I do not care about such resolution. As I have been breaking those resolutions that were made by me  Grin
