I just use the same username and password for all sites I don't care about that much. That way if I ever come back again I can just log in easily, and the process of signing up is so familiar I could do it in my sleep.
No, the real issue is password questions. "What is your mother's maiden name?" "In what city were you born?. Those always seem like a security hole, so I choose a random question and just remember that the answer to all my security questions is "the landed gentry". That's fairly secure, right?
- tlrobinson 18y agoI hope that's not actually the answer you use...
- jrockway 18y agoYeah, I especially like the sites that ask you to make your own security question. Mine is always, "what is your password?"
- electromagnetic 18y agoThat's what my XP hint did, and my password contains an accented character (áéíóú/ÁÉÍÓÚ) as I noticed password breakers tend not to use these characters by default, but a lot of programs and services accept them. To say just hitting 'Alt Gr' can prevent any password breaker, I thought it was a pretty good safety measure.
