    Default passwords

    It seems like the world of passwords these days. Have you ever tried to figure out how many passwords you need to know? Between the internet, work and banking, I stopped counting after 25.

    If I could recall my password for this account, I'd tell you, but I don't and I fear I may not be able to log back in if I ever log out.

    I don't find it hard to memorize passwords, actually. I keep all of them written down. ...I need to remember where. ;__;

    Lynx just request your password using the 'forgot your password, you idiot?' link.

    I typically use the same password for message boards and email. Things that require letters and numbers, I'll write obscure PG catchphrases in alphanumerics (replacing vowels with numbers)

    So I think I only have about six passwords, including my pin number.

    I use random letters or numbers for about 99.5% of my passwords.

    I can't remember how many passwords I've got to different internet sites... 30 or something?

    Other than those: bank, cellphone, alarm, school... Not than many, actually.

    I use a special piece of software to generate 10-letter, mixed-case alphanumeric passwords for me, then analyze each of the passwords that comes up (the software has a function for that) until I get one that would take a computer over 100 years to crack using a brute-force algorithm.

    Example: PwR6ZhpvlZ

    That would take 133 years.

    I don't remember passwords. I use patterns on the keyboard such as

    ominubyvtcrxez

    Lots of stupid crap like that which is easy to type and right in front of your face.

    I used to have something like that. Sure, it takes a computer 133 years but my sister mashes the keyboard and gets it in less than minute.
