For anyone who might get a message from me on MSN, please don't respond, it's not me. My account has been hacked. Someone I know from another forum had his MSN account hacked too as "I" apparantly said I knew his dad and asked him for his dads middle name, which was his secret question...
Be careful.
I'll be honest... I have done a joke on a few friends before, and god damn it's simple to reset their password, you just start a conversation with them asking them what their favourite pets name would be... BANG. Thats it, that's why my secret question/answer is a ton of nonesense, if I lose my password, then tough crap for me.
Anyway, sorry to hear that I see how it can be annoying.
I got mine hacked today, well i recon someone guessed my password which was pretty easy..
I'm pretty enoyed i'm such a sucker.

Thats y even i dont know my secret question. When i set my account up the answer i gave was somthing like xfdklixdf33xxxNxd333xxOxdfdxxNxx243E. Thats not it but it follows a similar style.
My daughters was hacked a little while ago. Took M$ a couple of days to answer the complaint, but it was dealt with supprisingly smoothly.

Thank god I have a good meemory.b
My question is my pets name, but the answer is an 8 character random alphanumeric...
Can u guess i work in IT Support?
Use sentences - e.g. "ihadagreatdayatwhereveryouwhere". like to see a brute force hacker get that. Just remember not to mention it to anyone if they ask.
I use acroymns of words and change certain letters to numerical ones that "look" similar and also add a few random check digits. None of the passwords I have is less than 8-10 digits in length.
SAD or what
i use 9012345
no one ever guesses that
Cunning!
I remember a lot of passwords. I have an 'insecure' password that I use in places where it might be more likely to be compromised, meaning my accounts etc with more 'secure' passwords would be unaffected from a breach of security.
I hate answering secret questions.
PHP Code:$s = new signature();
$s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();
I have them all written down in a pocket book & also i use AI Roboform, which is backed up weekly.
Mine is 6031769 ... can't think why...
I use 8 digit alphanumeric...I'd suggest using a password generator...itll take about a week to remember it..but then they become 2nd nature 2u
Then you can start stringing them together creating stupidly long passwords.

Yes...only if the password was protecting the Sultan of Brunei's bank account #Then you can start stringing them together creating stupidly long passwords.
