Nothing new or revolutionary -- just a decent enough reminder that the password you use for a site or service may be less secure because you chose a less secure password, or the site/service won't let you use something more secure, or the site/service doesn't store it securely. Personally I prefer passwords like this one generated in KeePass, but most sites won't let me use such a thing: @?þÜÓ¼?P(×"ìÙ:ÏÍ??ùΪØ}Å?'ãø . Of course something like that is only practical when you can copy/paste, which not every situation will allow -- I have a separate Amazon acct. for my tablet using a much simpler password but only tied to a credit/debit card I got from a MIR [mail in rebate]. BigFish games are a PITA because the password has to be entered manually when installing/adding a game -- I only use PayPal with their site & don't have them store the info... it's not the best but whatcha gonna do.
