...right? You should. Certain passwords are easier to crack than others, but any password can be cracked. So if you think yours is safe (and we'll test that later in the semester) or if it's ok to use the same one for all your password needs,
here is an Ars Technica discussion about passwords, and how it's not so hard after all. One thing criminals count on is that you don't take passwords seriously, but you might after this.
I do use the same password for different website because it is easier for me to remeber my passwords. It is hard for me to change my password, becuase i forget and i end up have to change my passwords on different sites.
ReplyDeleteThat picture is quite amusing. I also tend to use the same or similar passwords for multiple websites. It is difficult to remember different usernames and passwords for all the different websites. I pay all of my bills online, so I decided to create a word document with all of my usernames and passwords so that I can just look at it while I am signing in. It has been quite helpful so far.

ReplyDeleteTake a look at these few pictures. I just happened to find them online right after getting on this blog.
I actually use different passwords for different sites, but they are all similar so that they are easy for me to remember. Sometimes I run into sites that says, "the username and/or passwords already exists," meaning someone else has my username and or password; so it is as if I'm forced to use different passwords.
ReplyDeleteI try to use a combination of about 4 or 5 different passwords, constantly changing them. My computer at work has a requirement of between 90 and 120 days to change passwords on certain programs we use. Thankfully, none of my passwords have been hacked. It is tough to remember them all, that's for sure.
