Happy World Password Day to you and yours! Oh, you don’t know about World Password Day? Well, considering that cybercrime is a huge issue, you might want to start observing this one — for your bank account’s sake.

And we probably don’t have to tell you this, but having your money or identity stolen isn’t exactly a good time.
