i think if someone were to figure out my password/code, they'd own my life. i've just recently begun to switch it up, but everything from bankcard, school password, cell phone, to logins on the internet remains the same...

ouch.

 

[tedtropy]

So you're basically saying that any of this board's admins could presently rob you blind?

 

[dem]

Yeah.. I've been using the same password for EVERYTHING since like.. 1997.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

tedtropy has a point.

 

[Ghost]

for the second time today.. (a new personal record), Ackbar sense tingling...

:lol

I have about 5 or so passwords I use.

 

[SKluck]

In college we had to change our passwords every so often, and couldn't use one that we had before, so I would keep 1 word the same like "apple" and switch the next one. So "appleseed, applesauce, applejuice" etc. Now I just keep the first one of those I ever used.

But I have 2 I use. And places that need a digit I just add a 1 to it.

I used to use "password" as my password for everything, I never got fucked over by doing that, but I don't use that anymore.

 

[RevenantKioku]

I have different passwords for important things, but for shit like aim/yahoo and websites when you have to log into things, I use the same password.

A winner is you!

I use variations on a theme, mainly passphrases that are easily mnemonic, with alpha/numeric vowel replacement making them almost painfully close to l33tsp33k.

i.e. (an old one BTW)

ptld4m3cu = mnemonic of "Push the little daisies and make 'em come up" with A replaced by 4 & E replaced by 3.

Immune to dictionary attack and hard to "brute force" - especially with longer (10+) mnemonics, and very very easy to remember.

Paranoid? No, just cautious.

 

[Incognito]

naw, my password here is the new variation.

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

I have basic passwords for sites like these and then I have more complex passphrases that are sentences. I replace some letters with numbers and symbols and also change some of the words to a forgien language counterpart.

 

[yoshifumi]

i've got about 4 passwords i use but that's split between a lot of different usernames and stuff like that

 

[way more]

I only use one password too: RoyRogers.

 

[Hitokage]

Not that somebody couldn't if they had the time, tools, and effort(ie. actual cracking), but there's no method for a forum admin to see the password of an account. All they can do is change it to something that they do know.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I have 3 that I use. Though one is used ALOT more than the other two.

 

[Bauer Action Hour]

I have 3 that I use.

Same here. I have one for personal logins (Windows, email), one for stores (amazon, etc) and one for forums.

 

[Hitokage]

As for my own password creation habits, the password gets longer the more important I consider the login. The root password on my PC is 20 characters long(alphanumeric/punctuation), while stuff I don't care about in the least can be minimal-length crap like "taco".

 

[keeblerdrow]

I thought everyone used "password" for everything...

 

[darscot]

I mix them up a little. But everything low priority gets the same one. I do use random things for passwords though. Never a connection to me.

 

[mrmyth]

For internet crap (forums, Hotmail) I use a made-up word. For everything else I grab the Silmarillion and use one of Tolkien's names/places/things.

 

[Tommie Hu$tle]

I thought everyone used "password" for everything...

Only if you want someone to break into all of your stuff. I use the much more sophistcated "password1". Get with the times n00b!

[Brannon]

Numbers, letters and symbols if I can squeeze them in there; my current passwords have evolved over the years from parts of other randomly generated passwords that were parts of other randomly generated passwords that were... it doesn't end.

 

[LakeEarth]

They're always similar, but I usually change l's to 1's and A's to 4's just to switch it up.

 

[Mumbles]

One password for web forums and the like, one PIN for financial accounts, and one system for work-related passwords, since they want you to change different passwords at different times.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"BOSCO!"

 

[mightynine]

"The password is 1 (1!) 2 (2!) 3 (3!) 4 (4!) 5 (5!)"

Peterman: Look, there's a man in there. Get out of there, you're in danger!

Man: But my sleeve, it's stuck in the machine, it ate my card!

Peterman: George, give me your ATM card!

George: I don't have my ATM card.

Peterman: George, you're obviously lying, anyone can see that!

George pulls out his wallet, Peterman grabs the card, fits it into the slot and

tries the door.

Peterman: It's jammed! I'll slide it under the door,

Man: Now give me your code!

George: What?! Why?

Man: The machine won't open without the code!

Peterman: George, give him your code!

George: But I-I-I-

Peterman: George, there's no time! Tell him your code! Shout out your code,

man!!

Man: The code!! The code!!

haha, seinfeld is the fucking best.
