for the first time in 10.5 years, I have a new password

I fell asleep with my phone on my lap or something, and it's probably on the floor or in somebody's pocket or in the lost n' found. I couldn't contact anybody available to make sure, so I'll have to check tonight

I'm not going to reveal my old password until I figure out what happened. But shame on all of you for not figuring it out by now.

Do you ever change your password for this place? Considering a lot of SOs post as each other all the time (I'm looking at you), maybe this sort of request wouldn't do a single thing to improve security.

I think I've changed my password at EoFF two or three times over the years.

I don't think you're one of those people who let their SO post as them, so carry on good sir!

I've never let my SO post as me either. Is this some sort of grand EoFF tradition that I'm missing out on?

Yeah, she has her own account and, despite a bunch of them being EoFFers, I can't think of any time I've had a girlfriend who had any real interest in using my account. Maybe Mandy, at a push.

I've probably changed my password two or three times as well. I don't give out my FB password to girlfriends, so I highly doubt I would give them my EoFF password (assuming they knew of its existence).

I haven't changed my password in over 11 years, over 3 different message board software and multiple resets. I think I've logged in as 3 other people over the years.

I'm password conscious for most places but I realised that if anyone stole my eoff password they pronbably couldnt post worse than I do and mods wouldnt notice so it would all be cool, so my pass here is still the same as when i signed up.

YES. :bigsmile:

I have a few passwords, they are (SPOILER)top secret ;)

I have about 5 variants on the same password which means I often get locked out of things because I forget which one to use. I'm now slowly changing that by switching between three other passwords as well.

My bank password is my favourite.

I've changed my password once while here. It's been the same since I was a regular here back in 2005. I'm surprised I even remembered it, since it's not one of my "normal" passwords that I use elsewhere around the web.

I posted my password in a password thread then got drunk tanked as everyone was logging into my account and peeking through my saucy PM exchanges with Christmas and thug talk with Flying Mullet.

Your password comes up as asterisks now though, look *******, so no matter how many times I type hunter2 it comes up to you as *******.

My wifi password is actually ********, since that's what shows up no matter what I type. I'm not worried about posting it here, though, since most of you would need an antenna visible from space to connect to my wifi, and then you'd be invaded by Americans.

I have different passwords for all sites and a way to remember them without being written down anywhere :jess: I've changed a few times in most places, including here.

As an aside Livejournal has been warning me to change my password every single time I update my LJ for the past... I don't even know, four or five years now

I just can't be bothered

Nobody hacks livejournals. I mean what can they do, post non-emo things to troll your readers?
09-14-2011, 03:18 AM

The easiest way to troll my Livejournal would be to post something not related to video games, watches, or Linux.

It used to be different kinds of animals, but now it's alphanumeric so I'm not too worried about a human figuring it out. A computer on the other hand. :shifty:

I'm going to start changing my passwords to chocobo64 and I have absolutely no idea where that came from but it sounds cool.

I've had the same password for every site since I was like 6. :3

I haven't ever changed my EoFF password. It's been the same since the beginning.
I have a different password that I use for Facebook, and tumblr.
Then I have 3 different email accounts, and each email account has a different password.
My flickr password and my photobucket password are the same.

I think that covers everything I have and still check.

Once, my boss needed to get onto my work account. He started pushing me around to try and get me to give him my password.
I can't think of all the horrible adjectives to describe the shiftiness of his nature, but I knew that he was trying to penetrate my securities and possibly invade my life on the net. Just because he likes knowing provate information, since I have stumbled on private information about him. Bastard.

ANyway, his situation seemed dire at the time, and I am a good employee/faithful person/loyal friend/TOTAL F-ING MORON and I gave it to him.
No sooner had I done so did I realize the horrible mistake I made.
I told him I needed to use the bathroom, ran off tohe school library (I was working at the college then) and tried to recall everything I had that used that particular password, which included facebook and one email account and other things. I changed them all. Not one of them remained unchanged.
But I left my work password the same. If the man has to see how much he pays me or which messages I send him from my side, that's fine with me.

Other than that, my passwords rarely changed.
I changed my pass for this site to something I'd never remember once, but then when I wanted to come back, I just kinda got around it, since I forgot to change my email too.
Or maybe I unconsciously sabotaged my plan to be unable to return.
(SPOILER)I just inspired myself to quit again. Hasta y'all
