Are your passwords safe?

microsoftpasswordcheckerIt must be my day for being shamefaced. Having fallen for a trojan, I then took a look at the Microsoft Password Checker. Only a couple of my passwords were considered strong or safe and quite a few came up as weak.

That was mainly due to length as they use a mix of cases, numbers and non alpha numerical characters.

Perhaps it's time for a complete security overhaul...
