Title: Simple Techniques for Online Password Security
Abstract: Heartbleed likely exposed passwords everywhere. 60% of web sites might have been susceptable to the recent security vulnerability that was all over the news. Since Heartbleed eaves no trace, we do not know how much it was exploited.
Once they have your credentials, crackers need only minutes to try them at millions of sites. Avoid that domino effect by using simple, effective techniques to make sure information from one web site can't be used to compromise your account on another.
Using the same email address and password across multiple sites means that one break in can be leveraged to access your other accounts. Use different information for *every* site. No need for you to memorize a bunch of passwords or other information. Let a password manager such as KeePass, KeePassDroid or KeePassX handle that for you.
Also keep track of other data such as PINs, security question answers, the shoe size you gave them and other data you need to keep secure.
Learn about two factor authentication.
