I think it is great that you can read how to make a strong password but...my skeptical side says that it won't be long before someone makes a similar/identical form and sends them via email pretending to be microsoft and instead it will be a scammer accessing your passwords.
I just don't feel comfortable with this - but then that's just my two cents worth.

I totally agree... you can trace things through the web and I'm not so sure I would want some creepy scammer looking through my emails, or sending weird PMs here on WI, and especially my online bank account.

My webkinz account password is rated strong, but my WI password is weak.

Don't forget, it is a good idea to clear your phone every once in a while, especially if you trade in the GE or play games and win here on (then once a month at least).
You can always leave your friends that you trust on your phone, but it's a good idea to delete any others

It said my password was medium but then again who would be able to find out my password in the first place?

Yeah It makes it slower
I had like over 100 friends and it was hard turning on my phone
so I earsed all of the expect for like 10, my brother friends and ths person who I think is my cousin (don't ask)
Then WW became faster and the phone got much better =)
