I change mine on here only when required (every six months I think). It's kind of annoying but it's a good thing to do.

required?

i've never been 'asked' to change it on sites before (except photobucket, which i really don't care as much if it gets looked at as most of my albums are public anyway)


what's funny, i do have a few accounts on my old password(s). though when i popped back in april it was like "wtf why cant i log in..oh yeah old pass" :P


i hope i'm not out of line editing this again...

That's not a smart thing nick. If someone hacks into one of your accounts they will gain access to all of them.

I don't really have anything important on any of my accounts.
And when i do, i use a different variation of the password, and a different email address [Like on paypal, VT, MySpace etc.]

One is for important stuff [paypal, myspace, VT]
One is for everything else
