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...
