Re: Do you use the same passwords for everything?
I do for like LIF and other websites, cause it doesnt really matter, but I have different ones (that are not words and have both letters, numbers and caps mixed in) for anything important like bank accounts.
Having all the same password means that if someone gets one, they now have access to everything you have password protected, likely all you financial info.

Re: Do you use the same passwords for everything?
I use variations of about five different words and 4 different numbers with capitals and they're all at least 8 characters.
I avoid the most common mistakes like using the names of people close to me, birthdates, anniversaries.
I purposely use things that have no connection to me at all. Besides remembering all my own, I also have to remember all of them for the people in my office.
Got a lot of them floating around in my head.

Re: Do you use the same passwords for everything?
Things I don't really worry about have the same password (usually websites). Other areas have more built-in requirements so I'm forced to have complicated passwords that change every 3 months.

I alternate between 5 passwords.
All have letter/number/punctuation combinations.

Re: Do you use the same passwords for everything?
i have three or four different passwords i use for everything - and i change them fairly regularly. it's hard to keep track of which PW i use for what but it makes me feel a little safer.

No, I have different ones for everything, and change them frequently.
Having gone through identity theft, it's a very small inconvenience.

Re: Do you use the same passwords for everything?
I do for the most part. I use slight variations on the same thing. At work I can't everything needs to be realy different (so I forget and get locked out   ) I have heard its a bad thing but I think we all do it, too many numbers and letters.
