Security & Sanity with Passwords

 

Whether you are establishing a secure link to your bank’s website, or attempting to keep your teenagers out of your computer, passwords are a fact of life in today’s online world.

The following article, from The Dictionary Blog, offers some good advice to keep your surfing secure and, hopefully, non-violent.
