That's why I recommended a password manager. I use and recommend LastPass -- they have a free version but the paid version will allow your mobile devices and multiple computers to sync, and the enterprise version enables you to have shared password folders with other users and/or free accounts (so you can keep your business and family separate but still have one place to look). The "hash" for your data uses your "Master Password" as part of the algorithm, so make the MP a secure one (at least 12 characters, and a longer sentence makes it unhackable). Even if the LastPass site gets hacked it would take years for a supercomputer to crack your data, and you should be changing passwords regularly anyway. LastPass has form-fill features that make it easy.Guys,
Speaking of ever-having-to-change usernames & passwords,
working in my most recent engineering firm, you had to change network U's & P's every 3 months.
After awhile walking into cubicles, folks would have the new U&P's written on sticky notes on their PC's
visible to all. So much for security HUH, having to come up with ever-having to-change usernames & passwords.
No wonder most people don't remember them & I know this well, as I am the help-desk support for my
friends & family members. U&P's are among the biggest problems aside of not keeping up with virus definitions & scans.
As to a fix for this....................NO, it will only get worse.
After all, where are you going to hide yours?
Oh, and this would be different from today, um, how?Yes, but not on your boat.

Actually, it looks like custhelp.com could be a legit site. The root redirects to an Oracle customer service site, so my guess is that lifelock contracts with them to help with their mass mailing or other customer service needs.Hey guys.
Its not your sailboat forum being the problem

here's the content, code, from one such email. lifelock IS NOT custhelp.com don't know who they are. don't really care.

any such emails leaked are likely to be phished. hard. a little bit of automatic searching and the folks using the list might be able to create 2 or more points of credibility... in this case your membership at life lock and the membership here or on other forums, to help 'sell' the phish
Stay safe out there all.

Another good password manager is 1Password. Syncs across multiple platforms and devices, has password generator that you set for #of characters, special/alpha/numeric. Plus you can securely store other PI.I use and recommend LastPass
"Military 256" means 256 bit key length

Password encryption schemes now work on the password as a whole, so you don't get any information on your guesses unless you get the whole thing right. The only exception I can think of is WPS (the push button way to "securely" connect a device to a WiFi access point). WPS uses an 8 digit passcode but checks the first 4 digits then the next 3, with the last digit as a checksum. Don't use WPS.Maybe new encryption algorithms are better, but if you only need to guess one character at a time before moving on to the next character to guess, those guessing math times listed above aren't true. Only a fully encrypted password that is rendered into a single numeric value that is either correct in its entirety or wrong will take those kinds of times to guess. And then, you can probably guess the correct one, on average, in half that time. Not that that isn't still a $#!t load of time.
