“Effective immediately, you will be required to reset your GoToMyPC password before you can login again,” the company told customers via email on Sunday, and advised them to use their regular GoToMyPC login link to reset the password, or go through the “Forgot Password” link located under the GoToMyPC account login.


Users were asked not to choose the same password as before, to avoid using words that come up in a dictionary, to make it longer that 7 characters, and to make it complex.
