Change that Password!
Last week, after news broke out that three major web service sites had passwords linked on-line (LinkedIn, E-harmony, and Last FM)
(http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57449325-83/what-the-password-leaks-mean-to-you-faq/)
it seems like a good time to remind everyone once again that regularly changing your passwords is a very good idea!
If you subscribe to any of three services listed above, I would recommend that you change your password immediately. To help you develop strong and secure passwords, the following document does a good job describing what constitutes a good password: http://hitachi-id.com/password-manager/docs/choosing-good-passwords.html.
Also, there have been several Techbits articles posted previously that cover password issues:

I guess we can't stress this enough! Change those passwords and change them to something secure.
