    In order to make sure that any random person can't waltz in and use your account on websites, there are these nifty little things called passwords. I'm sure I don't need to go too much more in depth ;)

    What is your LV Password(kidding, don't tell me that unless you want to)? Do you use the same password for every site? How do you come up with your passwords? Are they random or do you deliberately think them through?

    I'm not, of course, going to tell you guys any of my passwords, but I will tell you some of my passwords philosophies. I typically name password after something that was relevant in my life at the time of the account creation... and then I turn it into an anagram, numbers and all. That way, if anybody catches wind of it, they need to remember what the word is, what arrangement the letters are in, where the numbers are (yes, I anagram those too), and where the capital letters are. That way, it's hard for others to remember my passwords, and I never forget them because of how much time I spend formulating them.

    Also, try not to post any passwords in here, I don't want to get in trouble because you got your accounts "hacked" ;)

    And, no pressure to post here, and try not to post in TOO much detail.

    I am going to tell my password it is....... Nah!! Its a secret. I have same password for almost every site. My passwords are based on things and people in my life. I am very bad at making a password that is hard to guess so, i didn't changed any password because for guessing the password i have now you have to think till infinity. Okay, i exaggerated but really its hard to guess.

    Typically when creating passwords, I just keysmash until something looks decent and I use that. I don't have a whole lot of passwords, mainly a handful of really complicated ones that I have memorized. I try to use as many different characters as I can- plus uppercase and lowercase, numbers, and symbols if the site allows it. I regularly rotate between passwords on the sites that I use, just to keep it fresh. My shortest password is 9-10 characters long, and my longest is about 60 characters long because I'm super paranoid lmao

    Obviously, my password is- *message interrupted*

    In all seriousness, as much as Id like doing different passwords, my memory isn't that great, and I will likely forget it if it's at least not similar to my passwords on other sites. I dunno why someone would want to get into any of my accounts anyways considering how lame I am :P

    Here is my password:

    Just kidding!

    In various websites, I use the same password, because it is the easiest to remember. It consists of various characters, and is really hard to guess. On other websites, because some people know my password (I am not sure how) I have to constantly change it so that nobody guesses it. It justs gets longer and longer... sometimes, my passwords consist of my favourite Pokémon and characters and combinations of letters and numbers. Nobody can guess them.

    My longest password (obviously changed because it was too long) consisted of over 200 characters, and I could memorize it from beginning to end. It eventually became a waste of time, so I had to shorten it, but nonetheless, all my passwords are tricky, as I have learnt to make them hard the hard way itself...

    Sometimes, somebody would log into one of my game accounts and change everything (at one point, deleted everything). It becomes really hard.

    I usually create passwords, with something I can easily recall back on,
    but not forget entirely.

    I always use similar or the same password for everything.
    My brain just can't grasp super complex passwords....

    Usually just some random numbers or a phrase, with some numbers sprinkled in. Sometimes I use anagrams of a random Pokémon too.

    I never make the passwords longer than 25 letters because it's a pain to type every time I login.

    My passwords are different variations of a smiliar theme, and I try to change the important ones every year or so? I should probably change my LV one soon haha.

    But I usually have some sort of theme, and then change it just enough that I can remember them, but it's not easily guessed. They usually have at least one capital letter. As long as I remember them it's gucci.

    I have 3 main passwords I use for 3 main things: school logins, school-related websites, and other stuff. I have one particular password for each, and they all play on similar themes. I probably should change some of them, but eh, I'm not too concerned about them.
