After hearing the story about the Syrian president, I imporved my
password.  No one would ever guess "123456".
Oh bugger.

I did spend an amusing few minutes playing "guess the password" when the
Linkedin stuff was lifted.
Nothing dodgy, LastPass provided a checking service; so I plugged in
"letmein" etc.
Every single one of the "dumb" passwords came back a hit.  Staggering.
And this is Linkedin - site of supposed professionals!
I tried mine, no hit, then changed it anyway.
Not that my profile does much...I never got the hang of this social
media tripe.
