Do you use different password for different bt site?

[mrnobody]

if so, how do u remember those? is there a pattern? or does firefox does the all the memorization for you, if so, how do u recover when pc crashes? is there a good firefox extension that you can recommend for this?

[LoKaLiRi]

yes only for higher level :D i remeber them bcz they are my Phone Numbers and My Brother's Phone Number :P

[t0mmy]

dont think its a good idea to post if you use the same password.. i use different passwords, i just write it down on a peice of paper :) old school

[Stellar]

I use randomly generated passwords for every single site I go to because it would be foolish to use the same password everywhere.
All of them are remembered by Firefox and I write down the most important ones. I regularly backup my passwords and other important things on a flash drive.

Firefox password exporter (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848) can be used to backup your passwords.

[kaffeine]

I use different passwords on every site, and in every email account too.
(it would be foolish to have the same one)

[mrnobody]

@ Flicker (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../members/flicker-187545) lol

@ tommy, any backup if paper is lost? and how do u remember all of those or your browser does the job for you?

@ mollusk (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../members/mollusk-188239), thanks for the link, but u don't mention that you use it so is it reliable?

edit: i just installed and removed it...doesn't seem to do good job with special character =/

[fsephie]

I find that passwords are easier to remember if they a. are chinese phrases and b. include my chinese name in them.

Unless we have somehow met in one of my Chinese classes, you probably won't be able to guess it.

[Tokeman]

I keep my passwords in my head and pw protected rar on a flash drive in case I forget for some reason, which isn't hooked up to anything most of the time. And of course, they are all different passes!


They are all random, so it takes some time to memorize them, but once you use it a few times, you find patterns.

[t0mmy]

never really thought of that, i know all of my passwords :whistling i might just go back them up now, cause your scaring me. :)

[mrnobody]

@ fsephie (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../members/fsephie-168833), nice idea :)

@ Tokeman (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../members/tokeman-139763), i am thinking about putting it in my thumb drive and pw protecting it as well. but i always have fear of losing 'em =/

@ tommy, lol :D

[Fibre]

Yes.

Use Access Manager.

Backup the database to a separate HDD on a weekly basis.

Yes, it's fairly reliable. The great thing about it is that not only can you import the passwords back into FF, but you can import them into KeePass (if you're on Windows.)
As a precaution, I basically backup my whole Firefox profile folder in addition to using the password exporter and store the info on my flash drive.

If your computer crashes you can either import the passwords or replace the Firefox profile folder with your old one. I usually replace the folder since it also contains extensions and preferences.

[SgtMajor]

Create a load of passwords:

http://www.pctools.com/guides/password/?length=12&phonetic=on&alpha=on&mixedcase=on&numeric=on&nosimilar=on&quantity=50&generate=true

Copy them to a text file.

For each tracker, copy the tracker url back to the text file as you use one of the passwords, save the text file before exiting.

Let firefox remember the password, but you also have a backup on your hard disk as well.

Save the text file to your removable drive (usb pen drive is great for this) and you can take & use them wherever you happen to be.

[Night0wl]

I use random passwords for all sites e.g. 65lm2cldv53wbu&Ni7

Keep them in notepad documents in two different places and copy/paste them from there when logging in

Only downside is that it's very hard to remember them in my head, but that's the prize of security I guess

[fOrUmAs]

if so, how do u remember those? is there a pattern? or does firefox does the all the memorization for you, if so, how do u recover when pc crashes? is there a good firefox extension that you can recommend for this?

well for 80% where im member i use the same pass but with small and bigger words but the pass is same..the rest are differet..and im also using diffrent names also,only on few of them i have same nick:D

[mrnobody]

mollusk (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../members/mollusk-188239), backing up the whole profile...i could use that :) thanks again

@ sarge, thanks...seems to be something that will suit me.

@ Blue_Skies (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../members/blue-skies-161000), i think you should let ur browser memorize the pw...too much work to c & p pw while logging in, don't u think?

@ Forumas (http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/../../member.php?u=182863), ya if you have different nick...using same pass isn't much of problem.

[psxcite]

I use a password manager which generates different PW for each site. It outfills the field when I login and backs up the data to a thumb drive. It also comes with a portable version of the program on the thumb drive in case i need to access a site away from home.

[Adam1990]

I use 4 different user names and 3 different emails. I also use random passwords on each of my better sites but I do use basically the same passwords on my sites people would be less likely to try and get from me. I keep it all on an excel document on a flash drive. The excel document contains the following. url:User Name: password:Email:abbreviation:tracker content: how many invites i have.

[pandabear]

I just use roboforms, to generate and remember my passwords. I run roboforms off my data drive, so its safe from window based fails. All the same i might just do what my dad does and write them all down in book. most of my passwords when they aren't generated are just two or three random words plus a number. so there hard to guess unless you have a very random mind. :P

[SiNa]

wh would anyone write it on a piece of paper? they could be lost in so many ways, just do what sgtmajor said, cause thats what i do to.

[Night0wl]

Actually it's pretty easy once you get used to it. I don't use my browser because I clear it completely from time to time. Also let's say some scriptkid with nothing better to do comes up with some exploit that compromises my browser. I prefer to keep my passwords out of others reach. A random titled notepad in some random document or program folder using abbreviations that only I understand does that ;)

[Grind$oFine]

Firefox password exporter (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848) can be used to backup your passwords.

+1, I love that extension.

I have different passwords though, and I usually can remember them. I relate words to the tracker and use that for the pass.

I don't mind saying it because my brain works in really random ways, no one would be able to guess it. :noes:

[jr56]

Different password for every site of course backed up to a text file. I lost a hard drive this week so no way to make a backup of that file :sick:

[yayyyyyy]

KeePass: http://keepass.info/

at any site I signup it generate a random password... very long, very very complicated.

additionally I store it in firefox (I trust it... :P)

[mrnobody]

never heard of keepass. But sounds good. Thanks yayyyyyyy.

[masterbat]

yes. different usernames and passwords for every tracker ?

how do i manage it ? its pretty complex actually

first i got to open a notepad , type it down and save it . time consuming but its worth it :|

[dave12]

whenever i sign up at a tracker i recover pass for once and that my pass ff remember for me i don't remember any pass

[DannyGnXz]

KeePass: http://keepass.info/

at any site I signup it generate a random password... very long, very very complicated.

additionally I store it in firefox (I trust it... :P)

Even though this topic can be used to see who is using the same passwords everywhere, its nice to see suggestions like the one above to both generate & store passwords.

[ZedZedZed]

Yep, I use different passwords on all sites. My browser remember them all. If my browser loses the passwords, I just recover lol :P

[kirktrix]

I use 3 password only.....
Same nick in almost all of my trackers... " Planning to change this in my future trackers "
4 different email address...

[vobilli]

I've used KeyPass (http://keepass.info/screenshots.html) for about a year; it generates and saves my usernames & pw's, and saves a backup automatically with one of it's addons. The firefox pw manager is great, but I do worry about losing that data

[YoYoY]

yes i use different passwords
i just remember them , i mean i don't use anything to remember them

[Defy]

I use different passwords for everything on the internet, whether it be my email, bank account, FST login, or torrent sites. An elephant never forgets. :)

[bikernin]

i store all my passwords in a neat excel spreadsheet and rar it and password protect it. one copy on pc one on my usb

[herbiex]

An easy trick is to come up with some random string of characters (say h5rjf8) that you memorize... then add some combination that is unique to each site to this string (say use the last two letters of the domain name before and after your string)... using this site as example your password is lh5rjf8k... now, you have a unique and random password for each site you log into that you won't easily forget...

There was an article over at Lifehacker (http://lifehacker.com/software/passwords/geek-to-live--choose-and-remember-great-passwords-184773.php) about creating and remembering unique passwords, very similar to herb's suggestion. I didn't read the entire post before, but after re-reading it just now I see it's actually a damn good idea

[Ænima]

While SgtMajor's tutorial gets to the point, it is lacking in user security. Saving a password to a text file is NOT safe.

I recommend creating a password with Extreme Password Generator Pro (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=1319), which is completely portable program (leave-no-trace, flash drive friendly). And, of course, create a password of at east 20 characters. Also, it is recommended to create a unique password, and username for that matter, for each tracker/forum/email/etc, if only for optimal security.

Steganos Locknote is a program that is completely portable, consists of one tiny .exe file, password-protected (protect your passwords with a password!), and is encrypted by that password.

Details from the Download site (https://www.steganos.com/us/products/home-office/locknote/overview):


Why use Steganos LockNote?
Store your most valuable notes as a LockNote
Hide your serial numbers, passwords, phone numbers and everyday notes in a safe place. Your informations will be encrypted using a password and most modern AES 256bit encryption technology.
Secure, yet simple
Just double-click a LockNote and enter your password to access your text files as usual.
No installation required
Move LockNotes wherever you want, as often as you want. A LockNote document does not require much more hard drive space than an unencrypted document.
Encrypt existing text files in no time at all
Simply drag and drop existing text files on a LockNote window: they will be encrypted automatically.
Open and free
LockNote is open source and is based upon open source technologies, e.g. the certified CryptoPP program library for strong encryption.Yes, and be sure not to forget that one password for LockNote! And label the stored passwords for that matter!

[bbnap]

yes only for higher level :D i remeber them bcz they are my Phone Numbers and My Brother's Phone Number :P
hey flicker let me call you sometime, whats your #?

[sleepyy]

my brain

i write it down type it enough times then i remember and it's allways different and unquie from the previous password i suppose that way if something went missing i know i'm not to blame to a certain degree

[Ænima]

Can you tell me what program is it? I'm very interested.

I also use different passwords for every site randomly created by a generator but I keep track of them in a txt :rolleyes:

[Actatoi]

I use a password manager and have it and its database on a usb drive for backup and using when I am away.

[dnero73]

i have them written on a notebook and in a encrypted text file one of my flashdrives i used to use google browser sync but it didn´t update sometimes

[awoeonip]

here's an easy way of creating a unique memorizable password for any site you join. Just use any word you'll remember, like your first name, and then add @siteyouwant.com. For example, for bitme.org, i might use [email protected]

Easy to remember, unique, and strong (14 letters, capital letter, symbol)

[beat]

Posting that kind of information isn't smart don't you think?

[pdj2]

i use password its very easy to remember

[sokrates]

i let firefox remember all my pw's
additionally i save them in plain txt in an encrypted volume

not really!

say, a hacker hacked ur bitme.org account (hope that doesn't happen), then he will notice that you have [email protected] as your password. The chances are he will try to login with...

[email protected]

and so forth.

[Legion]

I use system generated password for each site and use auto-login...safest you can get

[Ungenannt]

I use the Firefox extension PasswordMaker. It uses the address to make a hash, which you use as your password. There are plenty of settings, so as long as you don't leave it default, its really secure. Plus you can't possibly forget them, and you don't have to back it up unless the URL changes. Brilliant.

[whiteboy]

roboform ftw, its at bitsoup, great proggie.

[hangemhigh]

if so, how do u remember those? is there a pattern? or does firefox does the all the memorization for you, if so, how do u recover when pc crashes? is there a good firefox extension that you can recommend for this?
all different passwords written in my notepad,

[shazzar]

roboform ftw, its at bitsoup, great proggie.

Excatly what i use. you can even have it on a usb flash drive and even save bookmarks.

[maddoxro]

i just have a have a pattern for all my passwords.yes.there all different :D

[9NINE]

I use different passwords on every site, and in every email account too.
(it would be foolish to have the same one)

and im using my pda(imate)to remember

[wasaby]

i use different passwords for every sites and e-mail,
just in a few unimportant sites it is the same.

[mrnobody]

lolbump :P

[redMonster]

Yes, always different password for different sites.

[users]

whats the point?.

so its harder to remember?

[redMonster]

whats the point?.

so its harder to remember?so its harder for hackers to guess your password if he knows your password on one tracker.

[users]

whats the point?.

so its harder to remember?so its harder for hackers to guess your password if he knows your password on one tracker.

you mean only if your stupid enough to use same name as well:pinch:....

[ajsi]

have somebody ever heard that somebody lost account because his password has been hacked/stolen?

[Night0wl]

have somebody ever heard that somebody lost account because his password has been hacked/stolen?

Has happened many many times. All it takes is e.g. an insecure site that you are member of being hacked.

Or someone having you open a link/picture in firefox if you store them there.

[Felixer]

I use RoboForm to generate random passwords for different sites...
and it works very well...
I can't remember any password XD

But, just by doing regular backups, no worry about losing them

[ajsi]

Or someone having you open a link/picture in firefox if you store them there.
huh? lol, didn't know this

[puckface]

OF course, who the hell doesn't use a different password on ALL sites?

HINT: roboform for windows, 1passwd for mac

[slymester]

Roboform FTW

[Enzo]

Off course...

[Unstable1]

I use different passwords on every site, and whilst I can remember a lot of them, I also keep them stored in a text file which is in a password-protected rar file located on a computer not attached to the internet.

[Vitality]

Remember ur password is the safest option else U can write it on a paper to avoid loss due to pc failure ..... also if u r a active member u can get it recovered by staff .. thats how i got once when i lost my password at a site :P

[Raban]

definitely use different passwords for every torrent site. . .. .

random letters and numbers upper AND lower case ....

on my seedbox all the account passwords are between 25 and 35 characters long !!

I highly recommend Microsoft Office ONENOTE for keeping such tidbits organized....

[whip22]

eh the password recover does it for me. Also, i use the firefox password thinger so yea.

[Nemrod]

Every time I sign up in a new site, tracker or not I create a .txt file with all data (address, password, Pin codes, etc.) and make a copy in pendrive and other disk.
It´s an habit thing I guess, it may look annoying but once I got used to it it´s something I do automatic.

[Sylar666]

I randomly generate passwords on every site. Then I keep it in Firefox 3.0, which is protected by master password. Then I make backups with Password Exporter (Addon) regularly.

[yakz091]

if so, how do u remember those? is there a pattern? or does firefox does the all the memorization for you, if so, how do u recover when pc crashes? is there a good firefox extension that you can recommend for this?

if u want to use different passwords and cant remember if ur pc crashes or u have forgotten simply recover it thru mail, and if u are so concerned about remembering it,
just make one password, divide into half, reverse this same pass for other site, and then for some other site divide it into three pieces reverse them as u like.
in general have one pass which u can remember it and apply various probability which u can remember of, according to probabiliity u applied recover thru ur mind....bcoz brain is the only safer place to keep ur pass secure.

[t0mmy]

nope. HACK ME!

thnx for the input though.

[Dithersky]

ofcourse I use different passwords and my passwords are all like 15 characters long :D

[helpme]

i use almost same password

[Pudenry]

I used a different username and password at every torrent site. Keep them saved in Firefox 3 and also written down on a piece of paper stuck on the wall next to my PC.

[yayyyyyy]

everywhere different passwords...

keepass does all the work :P

http://keepass.info/

[mjau]

Yes different usernames and passwords is highly recommended!

[Funkin']

everywhere different passwords...

keepass does all the work :P

http://keepass.info/

I like that. That might replace the .txt that has my trackers, and username a pass to each one

Thanks for sharing. :P

[yevgeny]

i use Secure Login (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4429) for ff3 and erase stored passwords every time ff closes. Probably there are more secure ways but its more about convenience for me.

[Roooney]

Use different passwords on each site. I recommend it!

[nebula33]

I use different passwords on trackers, forums...
One more vote to keepass, great program.

[Rigel9]

I use long random passwords with 1Password (http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password), that way I can use them on OSX, Windows, Linux and on my iPhone.

[droste]

I use same password everywhere, including fst. Why would I use many different? :S
It's easier to just remember one easy password :)

nice program.. im starting to use it to save my passwords and to make new ones :)

[crimsonhaze]

Holy old thread. Started back in 07.

Anyway, I use AI Roboform with firefox. Logging in is a breeze. I also backup my pw elsewhere.

how can u be sure it's trusted? maybe scam :yes:

[jbloggs]

The thing is can any of these pw managers be fully trusted

[puckface]

The thing is can any of these pw managers be fully trusted

I do know 1passwd for Mac is secure as hell... anti-keylogging, auto-lock, 128bit AES, master password etc... Probably the best and most essential web app for the Mac.

[xbawksz]

i use the same basic password, but slight alterations for each site im on. so i have about 4 or 5 different passwords.

[Arab8Zayed]

you can use Foxmarks Firefox extension..
It is Synchronize both Bookmarks and passwords..

[silvertec]

Mozbackup
Have been using program for a while:)
http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/

Silver

[cinephilia]

yeah, mozbackup is the shit

[forthat]

i have different passwords on different sites......
and use mostly the profile exporter in the mozilla ....
it even carries my cookies and all my back up bookmarks and eveery thing u have previous...

[GaMmERFoLiFe]

all different passwords on my site's

[piratebot]

different passes for all trackers. i remember them all too.

[Holy5hit!]

Aren't there warnings all over saying to be sure you use different passwords? I do BTW

[tutipute]

Holy old thread. Started back in 07.

Anyway, I use AI Roboform with firefox. Logging in is a breeze. I also backup my pw elsewhere.
+1 :D

AI RoboForm has been around long before Firefox started storing passwords. It also allows you to encrypt your passwords so you will only have to remember one password by heart.

After you sign in you it allows you to use single sign on which auto directs you to the website and fills in the password (Unless the site is secured by captcha)

I just run auto backups on the passwords folder so its all safe but you can also use it with a flash drive to connect anywhere...

[KushBlow]

I think I have various passwords, I wouldn't know now since Firefox memorizes them.

[pone44]

until it updates, may erase them? best to write them down or at least your email password.


I think I have various passwords, I wouldn't know now since Firefox memorizes them.

[cinephilia]

i wouldn't be surprised to see soon a "lost my passwords plzzzz heeeelp" thread from KushBlow :shifty:

[KushBlow]

Am I supposed to tell you everything? I have add-ons that memorize them too :shifty:

[Disme]

Keepass being used here. Never 2 same passwords anywhere.
Great application, generates very strong passwords that can under no circumstances be brute-forced. Portable, leaves no trace anywhere. When copying the password it only remains in memory for 10 seconds, database is secured by one master PW.

I keep the db stored on my HDD and somewhere online too. I have never had any problems anywhere.

[older]

all different :)

[Hakz0r]

I copyed demonoid invites codes and set them to be my password on trackers. beat that
