- jsteele 18y ago"Never use the same login for 2 websites" I call BS to that. Fair enough for websites that use your banking or credit card information, but for the rest? I don't think so. For irrelevant sites such as Hacker News, Reddit, whatever other minor web 2 site you can think of, you should ALWAYS use the same password. Why fart around with a ridiculous number of passwords for websites that are nothing more than minor daily distractions?

- daniel-cussen 18y agoSo true. Most websites don't deserve good, distinct logins.
- breck 18y ago100% agree. Using "password" as your password will allow you to sign up for twice as many web 2.0 sites in the same amount of time. As an added bonus, you'll always remember your password at the 10% of sites you return to a second time.
- michaelneale 18y agoAgreed - now I would use my 3rd tier pwd for news.YC.
- tptacek 18y agoStart here: you forgot gmail. With your gmail I account, I can get most of what you do with money online. You're also ignoring reputation. Breaking your Facebook account may not be a huge win by itself, but if I can use it to get your 50 Facebook friends to load a Javascript worm, I might have probably 40-50% of their bank passwords. Look what happened with Orkut a few months back.
