    What sort of things to you use as your passwords? Like birthday, phone numbers, etc..?

    Not asking for your password, just how you decide what to use?

    Or is it just a random string of numbers?

    I usually do stuff related to my close personal life that no one not even my friends would know. Usually internal thoughts or secrets. But like the guy above me said, nothing crazy long or anything. Usually its just a word.

    Ditto, but if I am attempting to make one that is super hard to guess and/or brute force (my WPA key, for example) it contains shitloads of numbers and letters of different cases and such.

    That's kinda cool actually but if you're logging in and you have people around you watching, that's not really that secure is it?

    Came up with this in precalc on my calculator NOTE: I don't use this as a password, so dont try breaking into my account

    159753167943183729842673195

    I use a certain word for all my passwords but I add several numbers behind the word relating to the account.
    For instance, my account password for my church is essence777. essence is used for all my passwords and 777 is used in this case 'cause its related to church (this isn't my actual password so don't bother trying to hack any of my accounts.)
