Waffles security alert.

I use different random passwords like dfkKDs53-83kKJNzAQa3Fa-2didj on every site, so whatever...

now WE know!

same here except that i also use them for ebay, hotmail and paypal

Its best to have 2 passwords , one normal easy to remember to use on unimportant forums , spammish sites , demonoid like trackers etc and one random , strong pass to use only for internet banking , very high level trackers etc

Honestly it's best practice to use a different password for every site. Two passwords only is still way to risky. I'd never use the same password for a torrent tracker that I use on my bank account.

Using random, complex passwords for every site and KeePass to store them is an excellent thing to do.

You know...the thing about a different pass on every site is-
Easier said than done
For muddlebrainz like me anyways....damn you waffle staff memeber!

wtf I use the same password on all sites.

That's courting disaster In the waiting, I would consider changing a few of them.

I would consider using a different password on EVERY site. Honestly look through this forum at all the hacking dramas that have happened over the years. This isn't the first time a torrent DB has been compromised.

Some sites are even stupid enough/malicious enough to not hash the passwords and keep them in plain text. Only a few torrent sites are actually secure and hack proof so your pass is vulnerable. Even if the pass is hashed who's to say someone isn't logging them as you type them in at the login page (yes it's happened before).

If some fucker manages to get hold of one of your passwords believe me the first thing he'll do is hack all of your accounts and your email.

Honestly just write them on a .txt file and put them somewhere safe. Using the same password is madness, particularly if you become a well known member of the BT community.

or you can always store them with a soft like Password Memory.

I always write trackers pass on a piece of paper and pin it on my board

from earlier in the thread...

I suggest you to use keepass safe to generate and store securely random passwords.....
http://keepass.info/

use a long (but easily remembered) keyphrase for the keepass database and let it generate and store the passwords you use on the web. it makes no sense to use weak passwords on any site on the internet.

On your PC , keepass is fine , but how the hell am i supposed to use it on my phone / psp / laptop / public computers . do i carry a flash drive with the passkey everywhere ? id rather not
