I guess I'm safe... most of my passwords are...



...secret

Wonders why anybody would use a good password on MySpace...

I'm even more surprised the guy analyzed 34,00 MySpace passwords...umm how about doing something useful? Maybe work with an online bank for example instead of completely wasting time.

I break my passwords down into three categories:

My MySpace password is the most retarded password in the world, for the reason it's about the most retarded site in the world. Who cares if somebody gets it.

Then I have my passwords for sites like this, which are more difficult, but still not great. Again, who really cares other then somebody gets to act like a jackass with my account...and chances are it would look the same as all my other posts.

Lastly, I've got my banking/investment sites. Those are the sites that get the strong passwords that have absolutely nothing even resembling the other two sites. Somebody gets my password from any of my don't care sites...they can try all day...they have no chance of getting in to my important sites based on those passwords.

I'd argue you would be a tool to put a strong password on a MySpace account and the reason being that site will get hacked and chances are your strong password there will be similar to your important sites....and it wouldn't take much effort from somebody with some talent to make the jump to the good stuff. MySpace is a perfect target for that because people put WAY too much personal information up.

Yes, it has some good info, but I think you are better off using strong passwords on the things that matter.

I have a similar system, Ace. But most people do not. Most people tell me they have one password for everything (which are usually stupidly easy to guess, or are not even 6 characters long).

You are both giving away information that can be used to help a determined individual compromise your security.

If you have a system, no matter how convoluted, keep it to yourself.

Here's my system:

I take the name of the last hooker I banged, in this case it's Trixie.

Then I use the dollar amount I paid her, $40.

Next, I rate her on my personal scale, *** (out of 5 *'s, she wouldn't cuddle)

So, my strong password is: Trixie$40***

Oh, I have no fear telling everybody my system because of the number of hookers I bang...changes faster then the national debt!

So are all your passwords are 0000 ?

Pork, I didn't say my passwords are made by this formula:

Number of times Pork has won a political discussion

Number of times I've drank more then Trin

Number of days Jeta hasn't cussed

Number of times Sid has successfully jumped anything



That would give me the password of 0000

Harsh!, I cry...Harsh... I tell you 3 times... Harsh!

I have a similiar formula to Ace:

Average number of headshots I get per game.

Number of times I am the last man standing in TAM.

How many minutes a day Houdini goes with out thinking about sex.

The number of ways GW owns UT.
