Passwords

[Sandstone-Shadow]

Do you guys use multiple passwords? Is it worth the extra effort to remember them all to have different passwords for different things, especially if the password is a good one, or is it always a good idea to have different passwords for different things?

Personally I have a ton of different passwords with two-four main ones. All the other obscure ones I have to look up, or guess at all the random things that I remember using as a password at some point or another. There's also a few passwords that I only used once and never wrote down, so I really can't remember those. Luckily those were typically for old topsites and such...

Opinions?

 

[Blastoise Fortooate]

I use permutations of the same one for internet stuff and I choose random words for my computer's. The last one was 'greenbean', por examplo.

 

[Green]

Nope, the same one, or a variation if needed. It's usually no

 

[Superbird]

I always use the same password. For everything. It is: A secret.

 

[Minish]

I have a different password for basically every website I go to. Most of them aren't even words and are hard to remember. I don't know why I do this. ):

I go through phases of passwords, too. I've probably had about fifty+ regular passwords throughout my internet life, because I'm insane or something.

 

[Murkrow]

I used to use the same passwords everywhere but then I become paranoid and used different passwords everywhere, and started forgetting them all. Now I use the same really long password with very slight changes for each different site, so far I haven't forgotten any!

I think my password here is still my old one, I'll change it now.

 

[Worst Username Ever]

I have several passwords I use diferent places. It's mostly this one random letter-nuber combo that I for some reason was able to remember, or some regular word or sentence with half the letters in 1337.

I have passwords of various strengths (one kind of half-assed one for things I don't really give a damn about, a couple of stronger but not very long ones for things I give slightly more of a damn about, several strong and pretty long ones for things that are somewhat important, and one extra-long one for my e-mail that I don't use anywhere else). For the lower strengths, I rotate them every once in a while or invent a new, similarly constructed one. I remember my passwords easily; the only thing that sometimes gets in my way is remembering which one I used for what.

 

[Barubu]

I only have one, extremely long password for everything. I only started doing this a year ago, so, if I go to a site that I used to get on but don't anymore, I can't remember the password for that one.

 

[Wargle]

I mostly use the same password with slight variations if I truely care about it like email, or if it needs to be longer than the password is/needs numbers.

And its easy to remember. it's Internet

 

[voltianqueen]

I have one main password that I use for most places, and there are three variations of it..
I also have two other passwords that I use less often, and they are really long o_o

 

[Missile]

I used to have about ten different passwords when I first joined the internet for obvious reasons, but as the years progressed I started using only one password for each account, and that's what I do today. I suppose I'm not exactly... I guess you could say "afraid" of losing my password or anything. :/

 

[Ryan the Terrible]

I have the same basic password, then I change it based on what websites require. Even now it's pretty hard to keep track of, I don't think I'll ever be getting different passwords for everything.

 

[hopeandjoy]

I use one because I am a lazy hack who will get hacked someday. Of course my password is swordfish.

 

[Not Meowth]

I use one password absolutely everywhere. Unless the site forces me to change the capitalisation or add numbers.
WHY SO SAFETY-CONSCIOUS, MEOWTH

 

[ultraviolet]

one of my friends uses long and overly complicated chemical compounds as passwords. This makes sense for him, because he's a chemistry nerd, but it's a pain in the ass when he wants me to check his email for him. :|

 

[ZimD]

For a reality TV-based gaming website I'm on virtually 24/7, I use a seemingly random string of 20 characters which are the first letters of a sentence. I use a similar one, but missing a few of the letters, for my e-mail (changed it recently - my e-mail is a reference to a character from a website, and my password was his... catchphrase, of sorts, so it was rather obvious.)

For everything else, which is less important, I tend to use variations of the same password I came up with for Neopets forever ago, sometimes replacing certain letters with numbers (0 in place of o, etc).

For things I'll only ever really use once, like accounts I use for one thing or something, I generally use "inflammable" out of habit, because I listened to a song once while making an account and that is the first word of the song. And that one i don't care if I say since I don't use it for anything important anyway.

 

[Zeph]

I have two passwords, one quite small and less secure, and one longer one that I doubt anybody would guess easily. When required, I shove numbers on the end (Always the same sequence of numbers!) or capitalise certain letters.

 

[Spoon]

My passwords tend to have a theme, but sometimes I'll use an inside joke or things that I like.

 

[Phantom]

I use the same base for everything, but I add a number for each site, so for X site it's 1 and for Y site it's 2. I used to use something based off Doctor Seuss.
