PENIS ... was too long though.

It said password must have 8 characters. So mine is Snow white and the seven dwarves

antodeco · 26-10-2012 06:45AM

HeeHee you said Ass

The Wallet inspector must have been doing the rounds with the password police.

I tried using 'fortnight' as my password before but it said it was too weak

:pac:

Ted_YNWA · 26-10-2012 06:51AM

sh!t , they found my password notebook

MadsL · 26-10-2012 07:45AM

Mine is **************

danniemcq · 26-10-2012 08:33AM

Phew

my hunter2 password seems safe yet...

danniemcq · 26-10-2012 08:37AM

Hah just looking at this though and you really can see peoples uselessness for passwords.

Number 1 Password is password.

So to make things more secure over the last while i've noticed more and more that you have to have a number or special character included to make it harder to creack so what do people do?

password1

i know some of these are maybe multi logins for work and need a million passwords etc but come one people!

Pherekydes · 26-10-2012 08:59AM

I don't actually know my password. When I chose it I just closed my eyes and mashed the keyboard. Any time I need to enter it I do the same. It works nearly every time.

Alright it was only a question, no need for that.

the groutch · 26-10-2012 09:10AM

how about P@55vv()rD

Posy · 26-10-2012 09:12AM

At the time of the 'great boards hack' I think my password was asdfghjkl.
This was also my email password.

I don't think it had occurred to me before that anyone would be interested in hacking my boards account or email.
I also thought I was great for not using qwerty... :pac:

Obviously since then I've changed it to passw0rd. Like, I'm not a complete idiot.

kingtut · 26-10-2012 02:21PM

I have a different password for each thing that I use

.... but I have any easy way of remembering them because I use ...

xxxxxxxx_boards, xxxxxxxx_gmail etc .....

Doyler92 · 26-10-2012 02:24PM

My password is "incorrect". So whenever I forget my password the computer tells me you password is incorrect.

jjbrien · 26-10-2012 02:26PM

changeme is another one that should have made that list

My ex, who was a dumbass, a very paranoid dumbass, spent an hour trying to get into my email account using passwords such as my horse's name, my budgie's name, my (previous) ex's name; throwing a minor tantrum each time one didn't work, and getting a sly grin when he thought of the next one. I watched. It was entertaining. And no, I never tried to guess his. It just didn't seem worthwhile or interesting to me.

I use the LastPass browser plugin to generate & store random & secure passwords for each website.

So I only need to remember one master password for LastPass, but wouldn't have a clue what each individual websites password is.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 26-10-2012 02:40PM

Mine is QWERTY.

inforfun · 26-10-2012 02:43PM

Forgot.

When some hackers release a database of users and their passwords, these passwords are sorted by most common and then the media reports on it. I think one of the recent ones was when the playstation databases got released.

alphabeat · 26-10-2012 11:40PM

Ride me sideways

was another one

Gamayun · 26-10-2012 11:46PM

Apparently a longer password is better than a complex one. So ireallylikepoptartsido is better than Sv_tU%# . Something to do with the hack bots not recognising words, Also it's easier to remember/type.
