British Gas in "password breach" quandary

Some advice from the end of the article:

Quote:

To summarise: • Make your passwords hard to guess. Don't use nicknames, birthdays, pets, and so on. • Go as long and complex as you can. Aim for 14 mixed-up characters, or even more. • Consider using a password manager. These can remember passwords like Vg@53p*/OhHn*9Dl;7 as easily as you remember PASSWORD1. • One account, one password. Don't let one accounts's sloppy security undermine all your other accounts.
