close your account if you don't use it very often. I often use the same password for all but my bank account and just change a minor detail every year. Well, not anymore! Someone guessed my password after getting access to it.
And, no, they didn't get anything but if my account was active the money would have gone through and I would be out around 500.00 dollars right now. So, if your account is just there waiting for you to use it at random, I would go there right now and change your password or close it. I can't close my account right now until all the activity stops so, I've had to put a freeze on my bank account. You have no idea! We just mailed out all our bills. But we can authorize what needs to be paid.
Here's what paypal said, change all your passwords frequently and don't use the same one for all your accounts like I do. Luckily for me my bank account pw was different. Whew!
You can keep a folder of your info (in your meat space) like I used to. And I'm changing my passwords again for all my accounts.
Let's make this a password change day!
PS. Since I have the same pw for AW and you start seeing wierd posts...
Now I need to install spell check.
