Happy World Password Day!

Still using "password123" because it's easier to remember? Your dog's name plus your birth year isn't fooling anyone either. Time to level up that cybersecurity game by crafting a password so complex you'll need to write it down somewhere safe (not on a sticky note under your keyboard though).

Morning Trivia: Who was the original host of "Password"?

Game shows are a tricky thing to figure out. You need a simple enough premise that viewers can follow, but unique enough that they stick around. So when Bob Stewart created "Password," I don't think "let's have people yell words at each other until they guess the right one" would've cut it. But when one of the shouters is Carol Burnett, Peter Lawford, or Zsa Zsa Gabor? Now we're talking. Which TV personality completed the winning formula as the show's first host?
