Some people use even the same passwd as their username!
This is what I would call a strong passwd:
uii.ljk((L09^90@#$!9-90=cfxtd4esM<MIhk9y8/./.kl][
I wonder how many of us use strong and different passwds, different usernames or, even more, different registered emails on every tracker we are registered...
How many of us reset our torrent passkey when a tracker is hacked?

is not that easy to make such strong password you provide znik
and it isn't that easy to remember it
many of us have many trackers if you make one pass for every tracker you won't remember all of them for sure

you don't have to remember them Sam.
Just keep the passwds passwd-protected in a file within a USB stick that will be accessed only when needed by you.

Doesnt matter how strong your password is when the sites are getting hacked or have info leaked every other week. Apparently the best thing is to have different PWs for every site, what a pain in the azz that is. The admins apparently cant be trusted so I guess thats what im gonna have to do.

There was a leak of the passwds and usernames of the BitHDTV tracker's userbase.
An FST member used these passwds to take control of other accounts on other trackers with the same username and passwd .
He gave away some of those accounts to some giveaways and the original account holders took control over them once again, when they understood that someone hacked their accounts.
That's why we are talking here. NEVER use the same passwds and account names on all your trackers!
I am sure a lot more users are in danger and have lost their accounts on various trackers because of that incident
