Thread Name: BS: Data Breach- danger?
Subject: RE: BS: Data Breach- danger?
Maybe 3 or 4 years ago I went to a talk on internet security by a retired FBI agent, and he said that usernames are not very important, and not to worry about them.

A recent book said that the longer a password is, the better. It's a relief not to bother with passwords like S7d*(nn+&mx@bltsfix or similar.
