Password Security

[JLogan]

How many passwords do you have in total, or do you just use one across every site? How often do you switch up your password? Would you consider your password secure?

Reason I'm asking....

A good piece of information can be found at https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm

That being said, we change passwords to company and personal accounts every 30 days.

Wow nearly every password i have is never easy to know it has uppercase and lowercase and symbols so makes harder for people to crack plus never use same password once its does become hard to remember but have file stores them for me and that password changed every 24 days

I am using same password for most site, Except my personal mail and FB account.

I switch my password every months to enable secure access to my accounts.

How unusual it is to ask about our password policies.
Even more unusual is the amount of answers you received... it's very telling.

The stats on yahoo passwords being hacked was very interesting.

I use a different combination of my password on any site for the important sites i use unique passwords

I tend to use 5 sets of passwords (when you talk about the 5 in lowercase only) then I take those 5 and each have their own variations (Base password + uppercase/symbols etc) which for some reason I can actually remember so in reality I probably have like 15+ passwords that I can just remember. (What each one is for is a different story ) but on my personal stuff I have a unique password for each so you naughty people no can h@x.

I try to use random passwords. The downside is that you have to have a master password to store the others.
