32 character random password for anything important. You can find random generators online, though I would advice using one you can download and run from your HD for obvious reasons.

My router password, for example, is such a pita it would take less time to actually hack it than try to fill it in correctly. :D

No, like I said, changed it to random 32 character. It had no password at default. :o

I use latin words for my passwords. Sometimes I misspell them and sometimes the misspelling is accidental :88)

At work, where we have to change our passwords every 15 seconds for about 20 different accounts, I am starting to use passphrases instead of passwords.

That seems to make the security people happy.

You mean it's not OK to have the password the same as the ID? Whooda thunk?:hmmm:

1) Create a password of random numbers and letters
2) Do not store a reminder on your PC's hard drive
3) Send a copy of all important passwords to my PM box in case you lose them
4) Beware of others trying to trick you into revealing your password

I'm not sure I understand. Can you give me an example?:rotfl:
