Advice:

1. Don't tell anyone your passwords. Even your SO's.
2. If someone does learn your password, change it.  Immediately.
3. Make your pw's hard to guess. bLuemOOn34xYw is a lot harder to hack than bluemoon. Just make it something you can remember rather than a random string of letters and numbers.
4. Use different pw's for different things.  I have four passwords that I use regularly, for varying levels of security.  The pw I use on forums and stuff like photobucket is less sensitive than the ones for email and messengers, and so on.  Also that way if someone guesses one pw they don't have ALL your info.

I hope this helps :)

use  as many  random letters and  taht as i can  i actualy use a book and each day  the  amount  of letters in the  set paragraph and  line as the password  thought it was safe  but guess not .  Aslo   i never give o ut  anything close to the  things

my greater concern  is  damage done  by comments made  to others  that can  not be repared
