There has been a password breaching/hacking spree lately, first LinkedIn, Yahoo, Dropbox and the Apple iCloud. Now more than ever people are more conscious about making stronger passwords. Some people think creating a obvious password is so obvious no one would think you would use it; other’s make easy passwords because they are easy to remember; or believe the chances of being hacked is minimal.
