How secure are you?

I just had some wierd shit happen at my bank and it had me thinking when the last time I changed all my passwords online. How often do you change your passwords? Once a year? Once a month? Never?

any password can be brute forced cracked, its just a matter of how long its going to take to be cracked.

it could take 3 days or 30 years, eventually it WILL be cracked.

I don't think passwords can guarrantee security, even retina scan, finger print scan, or any identity verification system is vulnerable to hacking.

The best security is to always authorize on 3 things. Something you know, something you have and something you are. So you could use a password, one of those syncronized time code cards and a fingerprint. I don't think someone will manage to get all of those without you ending up buried in the desert somewhere.

Keep in mind that for that the attacker must keep trying and trying...something that doesn't happen...

As for the topic, I think i'm fairly well secure myself.
