1. Also, your passwords don't have to be gobbledygook, they just have to be looooooonnnnnnng!

You can take a phrase like "JoemakeseggsonSunday," & add some numbers & symbols & you have a nice long password that's easy to remember. Some sites let you use spaces, too.

J0eM@kesEgg50nSunDay is way easier to remember & type than L**k3dIUb^k(387djf. IMO, anyway.

3. Quantum Computing will destroy password and cryptography security

Google’s current quantum computer is 100 million times as fast as any standard computer, and Google claims that its computer achieved “quantum supremacy,” that it took only 200 seconds to perform a task that would require the world’s fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to calculate.

2. "They have been purposely designed to glean information from you that can be used by marketers..."

Yeah, that describes Facebook to a T.

5. My FB password has been 100 characters for a long time.

I still got hacked last spring and the hacker was able to change my identity to Tina Turner (FWIW, I'm a white male). Representing yourself as a famous person when you're not that person is violation of Facebook's community standards and Facebook disabled my account. I tried various measures for several months to get my original account restored that all proved to be unsuccessful, so I ended up having to create a new account. It's been a pain in the butt to try to recreate my old account, to say the least. There is no way I can get it back to the way it was.
