Googlified

A longer password doesn’t always mean securer, but most likely it will. That’s why Google now requires new users to have a password of at least 8 characters (it was 6 characters, I think). The new requirement also applies if you are changing your password.

Google has a page that offers tips for choosing a secure password and what things to avoid when creating a password if you are scratching your head for a Kennwort.

And no, my security question is not “What was your first phone number?” :)
