[MiddleFingerMom]

1. No way. MY password is... ... ...

You almost had me.

But, even though I wake up extremely groggy, you gotta get up PRETTY early in...
.
Um.
.
Oh yeah!!! My password is 12345.

[NJmaverick]

[Kali]

5. WTF?

.
...than to disturb and perturb the pre-morning-coffee beast in me.
.
FEEL THE WRATH OF MY NEXT TOPIC POST, VARLET!!!!

[Angleae]

40. That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life!

The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!:silly:

[hunter]

3. I create my passwords using dice made from the knucklebones of password thieves and spammers.

FYI

[Kali]

4. I use creative, rude, mean, swearing.

especially for banks:evilgrin:

[mimitabby]

6. it's hard to imagine

someone typing "Iloveyou" to their computer 1000 times a day. Bleeeeahhh

[MiddleFingerMom]

11. The gender has been changed to protecy Kali's identity... ... ... oops.

.

[PVnRT]

8. One time, because of stringent requirements, my password was FuckYou?69!

[Beetwasher]

9. rockyou????

That's funny. And how did "nicole" get so popular? soccer??? really? tigger??? Why?

[lib_n_proud7650]

10. Man, I hope I don't get hacked.

[kentauros]

17. You're in New Zealand. Nobody does anything to the people of NZ!

:P

And welcome to DU! :hi:
(my gf is from NZ; still there, actually...)

[MissMillie]

12. "12345? Sounds like the combination some idiot would put on his luggage"

"...And change the combination on my luggage"

[TheMightyFavog]

14. Beat me to the Spaceballs reference...

Such a funny movie.

[JTG of the PRB]

34. "That's amazing! I have the same combination on my luggage!"

[IcyPeas]

13. Irish joke re passwords:

During a recent Audit at the Bank of Ireland , it was found that Paddy O'Toole was using the following password:

MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofyDublin

When Paddy was asked why he had such a long password, he replied '

'Bejazus! are yez feckin' stupid? Shore Oi was told me password had to be at least 8 characters long and include one capital''

[XemaSab]

32. .

:D

[semillama]

15. "anthony"??? n/t

[av8rdave]

16. I find it's easiest to use my first name. That way I never forget it!

:sarcasm:

[jmowreader]

18. I got a talking-to over a password once

"You can't use 'ebtvoyumats" as a password."

[kentauros]

19. I'm guessing that person wanted you to have a password

that even she or he could remember, right? ;)

What I've always hated were the places where IT was so lazy that everyone in the office had the same password. Different usernames, sure, but those were ridiculously easy, too (first initial with last name.) Why bother having such passwords at all when they're so simple? And you know, too often I'd see the username and password written on a post-it stuck to the monitor

[jmowreader]

29. Not quite. He knew EXACTLY what it meant, which was the problem.

"Eb tvoyu mats" means "go fuck your mother" in Russian.

[kentauros]

36. lol!

Okay, I'll be running that one by someone I know that's Russian and see how much he laughs, too! :rofl:

[Taverner]

20. Some great passwords you can remember:

Ch1ck3n
r0b0T
d3@+h
3v@1ua+e
S+@rWaRz

[kentauros]

22. Adult Swim watchers would guess the first two, though

:P

[Taverner]

24. So?

Think Venn diagram

You have to include (a) adult swim watchers and (b) hackers and (c) hackers that are aiming for YOUR password

Again, this is based on the stream of consciousness password generation theory

Basically - you let your stream of consiousness generate an idea - then add to it the modifications that make it hart to identify. Feel free to add. You can always add !!! or +!+ or any other such combination...

[kentauros]

25. And there are probably a lot of hackers that are Adult Swim watchers, too.

If they know you are an Adult Swim watcher as well, then they have your passwords :P

[Taverner]

26. OK then think something un-hackerish

Say, ex-wives of Robert Tilton, Producers of Sam Raimi movies....

But making it purely random shit makes it un-rememberable

[kentauros]

27. Oh, it's always memorable

but I also like to make up words, too. They look and sound like a word, if spelled with all letters, instead of numbers, letters and symbols. Most people would never guess a made-up word :)

[rcrush]

21. FRIENDS

Also SUNSHINE and LOVELY. Personally I would use LOLLYPOPS or HAPPYFACE.

[elocs]

23. I'm surprised that 8675309 is not on the list. n/t

[trof]

28. My DU password is in there.

Elad gave it to me when I'd forgotten what my first one was.
;-)

[Tom_Foolery]

30. My password is **********...

Just like everybody else.

[Xipe Totec]

31. Mine is double(math.random()).toString n/t

[davsand]

33. I needed to password protect a document one time. I used the product advertised on my coffee mug.

I saw it every day and I was able to remember it. The security risk finally was resolved and a password protect was no longer needed, but I used that same password for about a year.

"Iams"

It was a coffee mug advertising cat food.

:shrug:

35. My passwords are very obscure.

The one person I told one of my passwords to (in an emergency) was like, "That's a new one."

[qnr]

37. My passwords are randomly generated weekly by an Atari TT that isn't connected

to any network and is under my physical control.

[Iggo]

38. I see my fantasy football league password. (n/t)

[hobbit709]

39. None of mine are on that list

I use things that only I would know for my passwords. If something should happen to me and the passwords are needed, there's a file on a flash drive in a secure location.
