Simple Facebook security tip

When have you last changed your Facebook password?
If you're like most people, the answer is probably never.
Checking is really simple. Just click Account on the Facebook top bar (top right):

From the drop-down menu, click Account Settings:

You then have a view of some account settings, including when did you last change your password:

If the value of X in "Updated X ago" is over 3 months (i.e. "Updated 4 months ago"), changing the password is probably a good idea.

A lot can happen in 3-4 months. You may have left a browser signed in at a friend's computer, you may have shared your password with someone for just this one time...

How do you choose a good password?

I always try to use a short sentence. So much easier to remember, so much harder to hack.
