Unless you plan on turning into a gold bullion vault, a 4 numbers password is more than enough security for a discussion board.

    I quite agree with @John T Smith.  There's an old adage that if you can remember your password, it's not secure enough. 🙃

    You should endeavor to use HARD passwords (no less than 8 alpha-numeric characters & symbols, both upper and lower case.  And change them often, 4-12/year.  Avoid common soft passwords like QWERTY, 12345..., password, LetMeIn, etc...

    The password used here is the same as for my general Adobe account... which does require more security since all of my account information is stored there https://account.adobe.com/products
