Ha, I have changed passwords twice… each time it was after my computer was stolen.

I also use roboform with a master password that would be very hard for even a password cracker to break, at least according to all the guidance I have read for picking a password.

I, too use a simple password on sites that I would not care if someone used my identity, but a progressively harder password for more important sites, like ebay, paypal, etc.

The problem is every time you change a password, you forget it, the bigger problem is when you have a different password for each site, and the problem with password managers is that it doesn’t help me when I’m logging in from a different machine, or my blackberry on the move. I just can’t find a good solution, so I haven’t changed mine for ages.

But I do make a point of having a separate password for anything financial – paypal, online banking etc.

Then I should be lucky to have a different password for each login… and a special password for less secure sites. I mean one which I want the password harvester to get and keep trying lol.

@Hicham, don't thank me it was more of a self help, I thought if I motivated some of you to do it I might motivate myself as well. Haha.
