I have 3 passwords that I use for everything. One of them is the most common, it's mainly when I need to chance my password on the laptop or something like that.
Then there are 3 possibilities, sometimes I add my year of birth behind it.

My pin code has always been the same, and is the same for everybody in the family.
Maybe I should change the pin on my work-phone..

I always seem to remember numerical passwords better than alphabetical or alphanumeric ones.

Now that I have a set password for everything, I don't.

But I have lately since a site i logged onto required a number in the password so i just put a random numnber on the end and 2 months later i needed the password and forgot the number on the end but I guessed and checked till i got it.

I've even said my password somewhere in these forums but edited it out so you nosey people cant find it.

Nope, there are 26 letters and only 10 digits so alphabetical passwords are better than numerical ones. Of course, if you add them together (alphanumeric) then you get 36 characters to work with, which is best of all.

When looking for passwords I just stick with words, I try to keep numbers out of them. But I don't look for passwords anymore.

Amazingly not. I use different passwords most of the time, might repeat one or two times if sites are related, but that's it. Considering my bad memory, I'm surprised I still know all the passwords.

Yes, I have. There is a homepage that I have. I didn't look for it 4 years long. Now, I've seen it again, wanted to change something (there was a terrible picture of me, I was nine years old, buahh) and ... have forgotten my passwort.

I can't recover it, because the e-mail adress isn't aviable anymore...



NO, I WON'T GIVE YOU THE LINK TO THE PAGE

P.S: My smallest is 6 letters long and my longest 16.

I forgot my MSN password. Right now it's saved in Trillian but I don't know what it is. If Trillian gets deleted I can say bye bye to that email adress.

all my passwords are something to do with trains (railway/railroad). i have 1 normal password, an alternate version of it and a very rare version of it, and another completely different (but still train related) one because the school computers need a new pass every 3 months and it cant be the last 3 ones..
