Diglloyd.com never sees customer financial information—PayPal handles it and does not transmit it nor make it accessible. Nor does diglloyd.com accept credit cards directly, only via PayPal. This is a intentional design choice so that diglloyd.com never requests and never has access to any financial information.

Secure customized username and password
Customize your username and/or password using the secure change-form.
If you cannot login for some reason, contact Lloyd for help. Include your login username if known and/or email(s), but do not include password.
What is stored on the diglloyd.com web server
The diglloyd.com web server contains only username, email, subscriptions and your cryptographically hashed* password— this is the bare minimum. Your actual password is not stored on the diglloyd.com server or on the internet**.
Your login username is distinct from your email, so if your email is compromised, it does not affect your username, and vice versa.
* The actual password does not exist on the server. A cryptographically hashed password means that it is computationally infeasible to determine the actual password. Even if the diglloyd.com server were compromised, the attacker would have only a hashed password.
** Many web sites still store the plaintext password somewhere in a database, which is design idiocy.
TIP: best practices in general
For all websites this is the smart move: general never use the same password for more than one web site—were a password compromised on one site, hackers will test it everywhere else. This is why random passwords are issued upon subscription here at diglloyd.com.
