Change Your Amazon Password

Circleofgold · Jan 28, 2011

Intro:
Got an Amazon account? Is the account older than a year or two? Read this so you don't get hacked:

Story:

It seems that if you haven't changed your Amazon password in awhile and it's more than eight characters, anything after the first eight characters doesn't matter so much. For example, if your password was password1234567890, someone could enter passwordpizza and get into your account all the same. It seems this problem is only with passwords that are a couple of years old and it can easily be fixed by just setting a new password.

PS: Give me my rep point back. That's not cool.
