Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 At least 3 of our legitimate members have had their accounts taken over, or "hacked", and then scammers posted items for "sale" on the Classified Wire, in the past couple of months, in the member's names. Change your passwords regularly, (or) use a password generating software, (or) use a short phrase, along with some numbers and symbols. Don't make it easy for the buggers!

AustinTSI Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 This is ONLY a recommendation as I am NOT affiliated with either company but I am in the IT world and you should be using something like Roboform Everywhere or LastPass. Just get the trial to start and then wait until they run a special and then get the multi-year subscription for a huge discount. I have been using Roboform Everywhere for 15 years and recommend it to everyone I know. One last thing: a LONG password is much better than a complex password that you change often. Changing a PW often means it is easier to forget. Use one of the software programs I mentioned above and every web page, app, forum, bank, etc will have a long unique password.
