Whats your password?

[patrick]

Just been reading a good book about terorism and stuff. There was a bit in about handguns and stuff and the author seemed to know his stuff there, but then he went on aboout computer hacking!!! According to him, these are the most popular passwords on a computer "topsecret" "keepout" and finally..."fred". It seems "fred" is picked cause its easy to remeber and the letters are close together. I must admit, I have never used any of these, have you?

Finally, he says you should change your password everymonth, now surely, if you keep changing it, then it actually increases the chances of somebody stumbling upon it?

I know a lot of people who are stupid enough to use "password" as their password and think that no-one will think of it.

not me I hasten to add

Al lot of people in companies have password because people like me change it to password for them and they dont change it (just because I can't be arsed to tick a box)

my mate always uses "letmein" or "nigol" (login backwards) pretty clever ones but nothing i'd ever use - stick to something personal that no one could guess!

My wife awlays used to use clitoris as a password - as she reckoned that most men would never stumble across it lol!

Harsh, but probably fair.
