Quote:The password pressure of modern life means that 61% of us use the same password wherever we can
I'd bet that more than 61% of people choose passwords that are insecure and easy to hack: summer, winter, mydogsname,myaddress, mybirthdate, etc.

Me neither. I have a different password for every account -- all 47 of them, although I only use about 5-6 accounts on a regular daily basis. I Google translation sites to find obscure words and phrases in foreign languages, mixed with numbers and characters that alternate at prescribed intervals. Nobody, not even my husband, has a clue what any of my passwords are.

Good idea......
I don't use words at all, however. I use combinations of characters and numbers, both upper and lower case, which make absolutely no sense whatsoever. I don't attempt to memorize any but those that I use most frequently; I keep a file of the passwords on a rolodex.
