    It's nice to see social engineering is working well. Some idiot is bound to post an active password on this thread...

    Here's an oldie of mine: "", which I used in the old days when you were allowed blank passwords for things.

    I'm off to try and hack into GNU-Fan's gmail account...

    Yep, I won't divulge any because of the possibility that they might still be active in some old website account(s) that I've already forgotten about.

    Sorry, but all my passwords, old and new, shall remain my own.

    Yeah, sorry. My passwords evolve from one another, so if I were to divulge the "root" so to speak it might be possible to divine my current ones.

    I will tell you this, though: none of them spell words and several are in languages other than English with interspersed numbers and special characters. Call me paranoid.

    mine are hard to crack because they are derived from crap on my desk at the time my password expired. they are tough for even me to remember sometimes.

    All of mine typically evolved from one single password that I had a couple of years ago. But they always include a combo of letters, numbers and symbols.

    My password is an old user account name for my very first dial-up provider. Of course it's a good one, alpha, numeric, caps and symbols.

    Mine tend to be mashups of important dates, places, and in-jokes, related to me and my wife, with a few non English words thrown in for good measure.

    I have a few different levels of passwords, with the ones for my junk email addresses being pretty simple, while my server and bank passwords have much higher entropy.

    Same here. I put my system's root password up there with the same level of security as my banking passwords.
