~ Why do we use cryptic passwords? ~
Our servers are under
constant hacker attack - 7/24/365
Therefore, we do not use passwords that are "easy to remember."
The passwords for the
subscription areas are
computer-generated and are almost 100% non-words.
It is known that some
hackers will load entire dictionaries
into scripts to help find a "crack-in" password.
Below are some small
snippet examples from our computer logs
of these scripted attacks that never stop, and pound at the rate of every 2-3 seconds:

Please keep your passwords in a safe place
and copy/paste from your NotePad if necessary.
