The Importance of Passwords in Securing Accounts

Aunt Lydia who is in her late 50s, is not so keen about technology, much more about computers. But since she works in the office, it is inevitable that she learns at least the basic. It took her quite some time but fortunately she somehow got the hang of it eventually. Now she is proud to say that she can actually send emails and get to browse and surf the web every now and then. But in her work, what she actually finds important is just to be able to send and receive emails. The others are just extra perks as far as she is concerned. But yesterday, Aunt Lydia lost her temper after suspecting that her email account has been used by unauthorized personnel in the office. She wanted to change hotmail password right away. In order to appease her, the computer expert who was a close friend of hers, assisted her as she changed her password. After that incident, Aunt Lydia was more concerned about securing her account. She regularly monitors her mails every day since then. Talk about paranoia.
