Test Your Strength!

No, this isn't about the World's Strongest Man Competition (although you can watch it on ESPN several times this week if you want to).

This about your Password's Strength. Last April PC Magazine posted the 10 most used passwords. They were pretty lame. Remember, somebody's full-time job is trying to crack your password.

Beef up your Password!

Microsoft has Password Checker that will gauge the strength of your password. Just type in your current password and watch the magic happen.

Incidentally, they don't store your password. They aren't planning to do anything nefarious with it. But, that was a good question. You shouldn't share your password with anyone.

Not even with the World's Strongest Man, not even if he lifts your car above his head.
