and just about everything I can think of that requires a password also has a function somewhere called something like “Forgot your password?” that will email your password to your email account. That means that if someone has/gets your email account password he can get the passwords to ALL your other online accounts.

“uR!6l#3Gh” is a password. “Biteme" is asking for big trouble and you’d better change it right now ... all three of you.
