PGP - Pretty Good Privacy - Change Your Passphrase
You are free to change your passphrase anytime you wish.
Changing your passphrase does not alter any of your "keys".
You are able to use this to your advantage in many ways.
First, and foremost,
if you feel your passphrase has been in any way compromised - change it !!!
Another way is to use a very complicated passphrase to create a very strong
Private and Public Key set, then immediately change it to something much easier to
remember.
You will remember that for my passphrase I used
SeattleSeahawksSingSadSongS4ME
I have now changed this - before someone out there changed it for me.
It is a very simple exercise to change a passphrase.
Most of all, remember the golden rule,
"A passphrase should be hard for you to forget, but difficult for others to guess."
To change your passphrase, make sure you are connected to the Internet.
