That is why I use a program called RoboForm (http://www.roboform.com).  It
is a password manager that encrypts all the passwords you have for websites,
and when you go back to that site, it puts up a one-click prompt to
automatically enter the password.

Even more importantly, it has a very sophisticated password generator that
makes random passwords.  Because of this tool, no 2 passwords that I have
are the same.  I even use the tool to create a password for my e-mail
account.  Another interesting way to use RoboForm is to generate a random
password to answer those "security challenge questions" (you know, when a
site asks you for your Mother's maiden name or your first pet's name).  They
don't care if the answer is a word or not, as long as you can repeat it when
the time comes.  Remember, correctly answering the challenge question is how
Sarah Palin's Yahoo e-mail account was broken into.

RoboForm costs $30 and it works on PCs and handhelds (Palm, Blackberry, and
Windows Mobile devices).  No Mac support that I know of.  There are other
programs like this out there (some are even free), but I have used this one
for at least 5 years with no issues.

Many of you may have read about the Facebook account hijacking that many
Gotham members were affected by this week. It came as a strangely worded
invitation from another Gotham member to check out an attached video link.
It appeared to be benign except for the re-mailing of itself to my contacts.

  
Well, it wasn't benign. Somehow it got my Facebook password, which also is
my Paypal password. Then these hackers attacked my bank account and took out
a few thousand dollars today before I caught it. You must consider that any
account you own that uses the same password as your Facebook account is
compromised. Act quickly and change your passwords. 
  
Paypal is crediting my account for the money that was stolen, but it will be
2 to 3 weeks.
