Quoted from Chitownpinball:Really? Youre worried about your pinball forum username getting hacked?
Exactly ??!! I try and use the same passwords for multiple things as much as possible, it just makes my life easier and the shorter the better too.

Quoted from Grizlyrig:I never understood the point of all the long passwords,must use a number,capital letter and a symbol..it's all too much especially knowing most people are letting their browser remember it. So what's the point. Too many accounts and too many different passwords to try and remember. Unless you are writing them down for me to find anyway.

I write mine down and there hidden away incase I need to refer back to them for some reason. There all pretty close within each other though.

Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:That's fine for accounts that can't hurt you if compromised. It's not fine for filing taxes, online banking, credit cards, insurance companies, etc. Credit card information breaches are fairly common, when a bad actor compromises one account you don't want them having access to every account because you used poor security practices.
I totally agree. Fortunately for me I have NONE of those things. Cash is king!!

Quoted from cottonm4:I have all of mine on a spread sheet that is 2 pages long. It is insane.
I have MAYBE a dozen different ones. Probably only use half of them on a monthly basis.
