I have our Galaxy A53 set to only use home Xfinity wireless from a small modem, no Wifi, no hotspots, and yet I can stay connected for blocks in our city, even around a corner with a brick building in the way. Seems suspicious.

ALL my pwds are on my computers/iPad/iPhones... put them in an Excel file password protected... it’s encrypted and unless your ‘dealing’ with a professional supercomputing agency trying to break your pwd, you are safe.

He says that the big risk of re-using passwords is that if even one site you use is compromised, it can give hackers access to all of your accounts.

Wait 'til you're 70 and try to remember all your 'current' passwords.

Thanks for posting that. Glad to see that RoboForm has fared pretty well.

'Don't click on dodgy links'

I've always wondered...is copying the URL in a link then pasting it into the address bar of a browser the same thing as clicking on it?. Someone told me it is not and the clicking action is what the hackers need.
