I don't use the same password for every website, but I do use slight permutations. (For example, adding extra numbers or letters onto the end of a longer random letter and number root password that I have memorized.)
Of course this is probably not the best technique, but its probably secure enough. In addition, I do use alternate passwords for sites that I don't trust. So, for example, I would never use a permutation of my email password for a random site on the internet.
- jaxn 16y agoI take a slightly different approach. I use the permutation method for most websites, but then I have long, random, and unique password for the key stuff like banking, primary email, and servers.
- akshayubhat 16y agoI use block permutations where my main password is rearranged by adding and removing similar blocks of characters and numbers. not too efficient method I must say. I feel a website name specific hash function is the way to go and I use it for one password already.
- jastuk 16y agoI have pretty much 3 (pretty different) versions of the same password (light, medium, heavy xD), one side-password for certain things, and 1 unique for banking thats only in my head. Worked for me in the last 5 years... (ftp, cpanels and other client info excluded)
