Change your Amazon Password

Figured this deserves some extra effort and publicity. Older Amazon passwords (apparently like a few years old) could be easily cracked. This is due to the fact the only the first eight characters matter.

The problem is fixed if you just go change your Amazon password.

    LOL, I saw this on reddit yesterday and sent a small email to some people advising the same! Never hurts to be safe!

    Agreed. Even if you think you’ve changed the password recently, it doesn’t hurt to change it again!

    Coincidence being what it is, I noticed just last night that my Amazon password was weak and changed it.
