I have a job where I have to access programs and websites on a daily basis. The problem comes when the programs and websites make me change my passwords very frequently. I've had brain freeze at times trying to come up with new passwords. I now have a solution and hopefully some of you can do this too. I use LBPCentral members names and then add random numbers to them. Cool thing is that it makes me think of my friends here even in the middle of the work day. One of the programs I'm currently using uses Joey's PSN name, xTrophx. Omega Slayer was 2 weeks ago in the same program. I cannot tell you how many PS3 friends I've used as passwords. Just thought you'd all like to know I think about you even when working.

Why use our names? By telling us this this makes it MUCH easier for others to find out these passwords

@vanok - thank you for contributing to a light hearted conversation. I'm sure you bring great insight and value to the site. I brought it up because I find this easy for ME to come up and remember passwords. I honestly do not believe anyone could figure out on their own where I live, work, and what programs I use, what my user names are, etc.

That sounds like a challenge!!! I tend to create mine by patterns on the keyboard - I'll come up with some kind of systematic pattern to enter characters - then I just have to remember what 'pattern' I'm using rather than the password. This also makes the password more random and harder to crack (obviously I don't use "qwertyuiop" or "zxcvbnm" etc)

Especially numeric keypad ones as it is easier for me to remember. ...err so far. lol For all my internet stuff (i.e super secure home finance stuff) I use KeePass, a nifty lil tool that generates random strong passwords and stores them for you in an encrypted database on your pc. http://keepass.info/

I once memorized a "code", just numbers and letters. I've been using that and variations of it on pretty many sites. I know it isn't safe to use it on too many sites but I don't feel like trying to remember new passwords all the time...

i use 1 password for everything because i am not paranoid that someone is going to steal all my information. what's the worst they can do? write a facebook status saying "i'm gaay"? and how is someone going to find this password anyway? and why would anyone target me? i hate when people are that paranoid about passwords. no offence OP

Well when you get older and have credit card information and that then you should be worried =/. I have like 2 passwords i use basically. one of them being not too hard to crack, and one of them being nearly impossible

I do mine in a combination process. I take things I know and mash them together. Or I use the code me and my classmates made. (What? When you're plotting a secret terrorist organization, you need codes.) (No. That wasn't a joke.)

Why use our names? By telling us this this makes it MUCH easier for others to find out these passwords One of dozens of names PLUS random numbers after them, which she shanges frequently...I think its not that easy anyways. i use 1 password for everything because i am not paranoid that someone is going to steal all my information. what's the worst they can do? write a facebook status saying "i'm gaay"? and how is someone going to find this password anyway? and why would anyone target me? i hate when people are that paranoid about passwords. no offence OP Tell us your password, by all means, since you don't care if someone else has them, its the same basics. If a hacker gets it either just to have fun with your accounts or later on to access credit card information (if you ever get one.) then that's basically the same as telling everyone here your password, and since you say you don't care someone gets access to it, then by all means feel free to share it. ;0

A friend told me to pick a line out of a game or movie that I love and use the first letters in each word and combine it with a number. Let's use Arnie as an example - "I'll be back". The password is Ibb and then use 91 behind it. Whenever the movie came out. Ibb91. It works like a charm. I'm now operating with 3-4 different passwords and I remember all of them because you remember the line from the movie.

For stuff that I don't really care about I stick to one of three passwords but for emails and paypal and stuff each gets their own unrelated, random, made up word and symbols. So like &*JaR!uk>>< might be a password (it isn't).

I always ram my head on the keyboard. Just look at my username and you'll see.

According to howsecureismypassword.net (http://howsecureismypassword.net/), that password could be cracked in 3 seconds. Not so good now, eh? A password I use would take 16 years to crack. So as long as I change my passwords every 16 years, I'm fine.

It would take about 717 quattuorvigintillion years for a desktop PC to crack your password. I think that's the highest. Edit: Just looked it up, quattuorvigintillion has 75 zeros.

Just tried ThevaMacphotos7darmOSilver, that "Just for Lulz" one I made on page 1. It'll take 5 nonillion years to crack that one! http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/entries/icons/medium/000/002/081/long-neck-reaction.jpg?1308205482 *Head asplodes.* EDIT: Oh really?

Well, for passwords i just use the same word then throw a bunch of numbers at the end, except, i use a different number each time, and it always has more than 4 digits, works like a charm. ...Maybe not compared to your passwords since one of them took only 169 days to crack.

Hehe, here's some interesting ones. - "Password" is one of the 500 most common password, yet "notpassword" would supposedly take 169 days to crack, and "notmypassword" would take 314 years. - Making a password from 1 - 10 (1, 12, 123, 1234, 12345 etc.) would take minutes, while adding more numbers in a regular sequence past that (1234567891011 and above) increase the time many many more times, making the password 1 - 20 (1234567891011121314151617181920) would take 4 quadrillion years. - On an related and funny note, password "1234567891011" (1 - "11") would take "11" hours. - Password "howsecureismypassword?" would take 12 quintillion years, while capping the first letter of each as "HowSecureIsMyPassword" would take 970 sextillion years. - "drowssap" (password backwards" would only take 12 minutes. - "AaAaAaAaAa" is apparently extrememly secure (add more Aa for more security.) - "isthissafe?" would take 40 years, "IsThisSafe?" would take 11thousand years. That's all I could think of right now, at least we learned something, cap letters in your password for max security!

I use the same password for almost everything. LBPC account, PSN, game accounts, etc. According to the site, it would take 314 years to crack it. That's good, because if someone finds it out, he would have acess t.......erture Turrets are now available in different skin sets, and also with multiple attachments, sold separately.

Well according to howsecureismypassword.net (http://howsecureismypassword.net/) the password I use for almost everything is one of the top 500 used passwords... Ya I'm gonna go change that now.

Apparently god is one of the most common passwords.

It doesn't matter how secure it is, you'd still exchange it for a chocolate bar (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3639679.stm) I realise the article is over 7 years old by the way, it's just something I remember.

How nice to think of us Countess :blush: I use sets of passwords according to the degree of protection I need. Credit card, Paypal, PSN and main mail account have all different passwords, alphanumeric with capital letters, signs and stuff. Same password for every forum, social account, but with slight changes in capital letters.

I have a similar story. I use obscure and strangely named enemies from the R-Type final side-scrolling shooter and then add numbers which are meaningful to me. Here are a few PC passwords I've used... Gironika9.75 (Platform 9 and three quarters from Harry Potter) Yorkmingo115 (Element 115 - famous from the Nazi Zombie series in Call of Duty) Andromalius52 (After a teacher at my school retired after working for 52 years) I also use the Latin names of animals I like - not dogs or cats - usually obscure animals from phyla you wouldn't even know existed. And while I may forget the scientific name, I wouldn't forget the species. Either way, I always record my passwords. Bathynomus giganteus - Giant Isopod http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/18/Giant_isopod.jpg/220px-Giant_isopod.jpg Peripatid onychophoran - Velvet worm (I think these are the most adorable creatures on earth) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/31-Velvet_Worm.JPG/220px-31-Velvet_Worm.JPG Megalodicopia hians - Predatory tunicate (They're more closely related to us than they are to jellyfish <3) http://www.montereybayaquarium.org/storage/animals/520x260/Predatory_tunicate.jpg Basically... I try to make choosing a password fun.

Most of my passwords would take about 16 years to crack. The one I use on LBPC would take a day... hence why my friend was able to pose a Cornholio for a couple of hours on here without me noticing -_-. The password I use on my PSN would take 6 thousand years to crack. When I want a really complicated password that's easy to remember, I type up entire sentences, like OnlyYouAndIWillKnowAboutThis (141 nonillion years) and ThisIsTheMostComplicatedPasswordEver (7 quattuordecillion years). They come in really handy.
