I hope you have never experienced getting an email, Facebook, Twitter, or Skype account hacked. I have and it is a pain in the BEHIND!
Watch my suggestion in this video.
I also want to recommend a software I use on my computer. It will remember your passwords for you and I have been extremely happy with this tool from Roboform. Here is the LINK.

Hi Beverly an excellent reminder. Several of my friends have had their Blogs hacked recently.
I put everything I need to remember in Evernote and the article here says you can encrypt it.

It is so terrible to be hacked. I hope I never go through it again.

Hi Beverly, I use Roboform to look after my passwords… most of mine are strong although not all of them… so I definitely need to go and change some of them to a stronger encryption!
Thanks for sharing

I thought mine were strong enough but now if someone figures mine out,I want to meet that SMART person.

This is really important these days. Never click anything that comes in Facebook messages or email or Skype that looks fishy or trying to get you to confirm details. I have even received emails that were made to look like they came from Facebook to confirm friendship. I never click those. I delete and go directly to my Facebook account. Several times the friend request was not in my Facebook account because it was a fake. Real friend requests are always in there. It’s scary how slick some of these guys are.
I like your idea of a sentence for creating a password.

Beverly, I LOVE LastPass. Thank you so much for making a video about protecting yourself online. I have never been hacked and I pray that I never am. I know it had to be an absolute nightmare for you. Great video, lady!
