Security Blanket

Seems like every couple of months there's another story about passwords getting hacked and how bad people's password choices are. Recently, I've had first hand experience trying to educate people about how create secure passwords, but I get the same response; "it's hard to remember [insert number] unique passwords." And I agree. My solution has been to create super unique passwords, changed at random intervals, for the most important sites I visit regularly (email, bank, Facebook, etc.) and for everything else I store in a password manager like LastPass. I used to rely on Firefox's password manager but since I've started using Chrome along with Firefox, it doesn't work as well.

I'm including a link to a presentation I created on Internet Security along with the embedded viewer. It isn't perfect (a little wordy and full of jargon) but it's a good start. I'm working fixing it because it's something that needs to be addressed. I'll probably try to include some worksheets with questions like "what words should be avoided?"
