Passwords - Huh!!

[Adrian Essex]

I use Adobe Premiere Elements to do a bit of stuff, and one of its features is the ability to 'share' videos directly to youtube. Yesterday I entered a perfectly valid username and password to Premiere Elements which was rejected. Later in the day I got this email from Google.  was Premiere Elements.  I think Google has made me a victim of its ubiquity. As though managing passwords were not already difficult enough.
