10 passwords you should never use on Facebook—or anywhere
Many people have had their Facebook account broken into by criminals, according to our latest report on consumer experiences on social networks. One victim told us how a con artist used her friend's list to try to obtain money from her personal friends.
How do criminals break into a Facebook account? One way is to guess your password, so it’s important to always use a strong one that’s at least eight characters long, and includes numbers, symbols, and upper- and lower-case letters. (For more advice on staying secure on Facebook, see 7 Things To Stop Doing NOW on Facebook).
Facebook won’t let you create a password that’s less than six characters long and, when you try to create any password, it will tell you how strong or weak it is. Words found in the dictionary are considered very weak. In fact, when you try to enter many common words, such as “season,” Facebook rejects them and displays this message:
Password change not successful.
You may not use a dictionary word as your password. Please choose a more secure password.
Surprisingly, I found that Facebook still accepts a number of common short words, even though they are in the dictionary. These should never be used as a password without adding at least one digit and a symbol somewhere in the middle of the word.
Below are 10 that I was able to use, even though Facebook rated all of them as “weak”:
circus
orphan
better
higher
medley
valued
secure
social
hijack
victim
Another surprise: Facebook accepted some passwords that are nearly as risky, namely a short first name followed by one digit, such as: joseph1 or susan1. The site also accepted dictionary words longer than 6 characters, which it rated as weak, such as haircut, blunder, and criminal. By the time you read this, Facebook may well have blocked the use of the above passwords. But the fact that it accepted them, contradicting its own warning about using dictionary words, is worrisome. If Facebook is to minimize account theft, it should tighten up such loose ends by rejecting all passwords that are too weak, including all common dictionary words.
We all know money doesn't buy happiness--and that's good news for these new grads.
-by Charles Purdy, Yahoo! HotJobs senior editor
There's no denying the value of a college education: According to recent U.S. Census surveys, the median salary for college grads is more than $20,000 higher than that of people with only a high school diploma. And the unemployment rate for people with bachelor's degrees is almost half the rate for people without.
But some degrees are worth more than others, as PayScale.com shows in its 2010 report on the earning power of bachelor's degrees.
No surprise, engineering degrees continue to be top earners--and (also no big shocker) you have to go pretty far down the list before you see the liberal arts well represented.
But there's more to choosing a major than comparing dollar amounts. We salute and congratulate the graduates whose interests (and hard work) have led them to the following degrees--the lowest-earning degrees on PayScale's list.
10. Drama (starting annual salary: $35,600; mid-career annual salary: $56,600)
9. Fine arts (starting annual salary: $35,800; mid-career annual salary: $56,300)
