We’re all probably signed up on dozens of different message forums, online stores, news sites, etc. and it’s virtually impossible to use a different password for each, even if you use a password storage program (or even your browser) to remember each. I have a series of five or six regulars that I use, and I find I use the same or similar passwords on similar types of sites (message forums all generally use a variation of a certain base password, for instance). There’s one password I use that’s probably my best since it’s just a combination of numbers and letters that I’ve used for almost 15 years… I used to use it for some BBSes and I still occasionally use it online. I don’t have a mnemonic device to remember it, it’s just burned into my brain after all these years.
How many different passwords do you use?
