Did your password  got cracked during the LinkedIn , Eharmony or Last.fm hack this month? If that’s the case then you really need to re-check your password policy. Yes, even private persons need a “password policy ” to survive these days.

Earlier in May I wrote about a plugin for WordPress blogs that will limit the number of login attempts you can make before you get blocked. This is purely done to protect your blog from brute force attacks where someone tries passwords until they find a matching one.
