Hackers scoff at password systems, anyway.
Back in the 1980s, I think I had one password my ATM PIN number. OK, maybe I had a gate code number, too. It seems as if a growing number of sites demand user names and passwords usually with special syntax that keeps me from using the same pair everywhere. Then, I m supposed to change them all periodically for security s sake. That s a joke.
