Subject: Re: Archives problem. And more about hacking

Desk pounding agreement with Wendy, too!  If a user's password is 123456, they deserve everything they get. If it's CorrectØHorse&Battery*Staple, and they get hacked, the provider has a problem :-)

My PW is 19 or 20 chars, with upper & lower case, numbers, special symbols and no dictionary words, but is still very memorable to me. If it gets hacked, it's my provider at fault.

Much as I love the service, and like others here have been using it since the days when you had to be invited, Gmail is not impervious to attack.

Two friends have had their Gmail accounts hacked recently, and spam sent out as a result.  Neither were using two-factor authentication.  One of the two, who is tech-savvy, could see that her account had been accessed from another country, and has now turned two-factor on.
