Lol. I use the same password for everything too. It's easier for me to remember what password goes to what.

And, haha, my password doesn't follow any of those rules up there. @_@

Would love help on this.

I change my password for school every six months or something, so I get all confused because I often use that password for everything and then some of them don't get changed and I don't know what password I've used for something. I'm really terrible with passwords.

My password is not "secure"! I won't tell you what it is, but at least it's not "secure"! :P

I should probably change it. But then I won't remember what I changed it to...

Most of my passwords are 0 hitters, except my RuneScape and Friendster ones. Runescape isn't that important, so I'll just change my Friendster one.

About 9 of my passwords used to be my pseudonym, then I changed them to another pseudonym, then I changed them what it is now. They're all slightly different, though. Since it's been a while since I've had a pseudonym, I deduce that my password is too old. So I'll change it. Thanks.

Yeah I'm glad I was forced to make a secure password for my school ID. It had to have so many characters and at least 3 of the four types: uppercase letter, lowercase letter, symbol, and number. Just Googled it and got no hits.

Another tip I got from that site: Try making up a random sentence and use the first letters and numbers to make a password. For example "I ate 45 slices of cheese yesterday." becomes "Ia45socy".

Got plenty of hits for my YWS password and some of my other old ones though, so I should change those. Thanks for the tip.

Well, one of my passwords is still safe on google, and the hits for the other one still haven't changed since the last time. Tis a random string of letters and words though.

Well, yeah, I use the same password for everything.
I'm screwed if my friends wise up. I put too much trust in them haha.

2 people know my myspace, but seriously, what the hell will they do with my myspace? Spam my friends with 'you're a so and so'? Yeah. Ouch.

My password returned like... zero hits! Wooo

xD the password I use for a bunch of things (YWS, facebook, blogs, etc o.O methinks I'll be changing it asap) had a total of 666 hits on google *win* haha !

My best friend knows that password; I was once without internet and called her and had her check my email for me ^^ we keep no secrets, lol, I know her passwords as well.

My 'more secure' one had 448 hits on google. I'll leave that one be.

My 'super secure' one has ZERO hits! *epic win*

But... I shall change my commonly used devil-number-of-google-hits YWS/facebook/blogs password 'cause it clearly isn't as good as I'd like it to be *nod*

Oopsie-daisy.

My password came back with 1,020,000 results. But, disasterous consequences will occur if I change it. So, I'll just risk my entire life being hacked-into instead of changing it to something I'm forget.

I am officially content with my password here on YWS. Google only had three hits.
Hurray! Now I don't have to change it and worry about being permanently confused.
