my password broken into?
I joined 2 conspiracy forums & had a 9 letter password. I posted sensitive messages in them & realized that someone could use password cracking software to get into my forum account & then my email account. one forum lets you try as many times as you like at the password. the other one, after 5 wrong tries takes you to a page saying if you type your email address your password will be sent to you - you can then press the browser's back button & re-try.

on 2 occasions I couldn't log into my email - I assume because someone else was logged in then.

copy & paste: http://rumkin.com/tools/password/passchk.php
to check your password score.

{I fixed the space you had in your link, it would not work, so I removed the one space for you...If you had it on purpose with the one space, may I ask why?? That site is OK by what I saw, and it is alright to post links in forums provided they are legit.....Byteman, Moderator, no thanks needed!}
