According to a cached entry from 4chan.org on yahoo search results the password for her gov.sarah@yahoo.com email account was ...drum roll... pitlipbullstick19837.
According to Microsoft's Password Checker this is medium password strength.
A couple of notes:
- When creating passwords, folks should use special characters and Upper/lowercase combos, not to mention avoiding variants of words that are easily associated to them...come on "pit bull" and "lipstick"? Like no one would have thought of that after her infamous RNC speech! As a general rule, everything in the dictionary should be off limits when selecting a password.
- I'll bypass the questions that have come up about conducting official government business on a web-based yahoo account. However I can't help but ask: if she can't keep her own emails safe, how can she be trusted with national security?
