Disclaimer: I am not looking for you to give me your password or anything along those lines. Keep your password private.

I'm just wondering, how good are people with passwords?

Do you have different passwords for every account, or the same one for everything?
Does anyone actually have a completely random numbers-and-letters password, or does it all make sense to you?
Are you really stupid and have all your passwords in a file somewhere?

I myself use one or two passwords, and alternate between them. so if one gets found out, people can't hack everything. My passwords also make sense, but aren't words...

Again: DON'T GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD!

Most people tend to have at least 3 (or more) passwords they use.

My passwords have the same 6 letter word in caps and then three numbers
All of them are usually the same one or 2 3 number combination.
For instance (not my real password)
Dragon343
For an alt it would probably be something like Dragon678
Happy?

Nah, I have just one password when I use to sign in everything. But I do have 2 or 3 nicknames that I use.

We should be able to use characters like !@#$%^&*() and other symbols. GIves passwords more security and possiblity.

I try to keep my password something seemingly random, but related to what its a password for. But the relation is something that usually only applies to me, or something other people wouldn't really think of.

And yes, I have a few random numbers in all my important passwords.

Jeez, now some ass is gonna guess it and hack me. :(

Well, when I brute force passwords, I usually get them very quickly.
Most people usually have a length of 4-7 characters, all letters, no capitals.

The few people who do add numbers have no capitals.
And most passwords are really common, so any password lists will usually crack their password within a few minutes.

I have 2 passwords I use, but I tend to use different numbers sometimes. If I forget one I can usually figure it out by guessing the others.

Oh, forgot to add that my usual password is 31 characters, 16 of those being numbers, with one capital letter.

My longest password was over 50 characters in length! And I could remember it perfectly!

No lie, I promise.

I only have about four password to be honest, and I only use two of them regularly. If I'm signing up for a site which I don't really give shit about and I couldn't care less if the web admin is a phisher or whatever, I use a really shite password which I could easily say now on the BBS and not give two shits. My other password which I use on NG and a variety of other sites and programs, etc is pretty complex, but not something stupid like eBGIQ7ZuuiU. (thumbs up to anyone who gets it).

Congratulations, I just told you guys who I work with passwords. I'll expect my account covered in crap tomorrow morning.
