Bob Caswell: MySpace: Emails My Password But Says “Keep It Secret. Keep It Safe.”

  • Louise · 1 year ago
    Thank you. This is a question which I often ask myself. Why do I receive new/reset/ forgotten passwords by e-mail? And I think this is why people often confuse certain accounts with being ‘safe enough to store sensitive info’.

    Considering it may be a bit difficult to get all the big guys to change their ways, we may have to work from the bottom up. Basically, when you get your password via e-mail, change it immediately in a safe place such as a password manager (PassPack) that generates strong and unique passwords, encrypts and then stores them in such a way that only you have access to them:

    And keep in mind that re-using passwords is never a good idea.

    Thanks for the tip, Louise. I keep meaning to try out and review PassPack. Maybe I'll get on it and actually start being more responsible with my passwords. Say hi to Tara.
