So when you get it wrong it tells you - your password is incorrect.

Post by: Dazzler on January 23, 2014, 10:20:16: For some reason combinations of the name "Ashley" used to be one of the most common passwords..

When I found that out I had to change a lot of mine as my Eldest is called Ashley :fum:

Post by: AlanHo on January 23, 2014, 10:40:37: Because I have a lousy memory and don't want to write my passwords down on paper, I use the same password for everything - prefixed by a 3 digit code to identify each site.

For example, suppose my password is ?1234 (It isn't - but you get my drift)

Then Barclays bank is................ Bar?1234

Halifax bank is...........................Hal?1234

Photobucket is ..........................Pho?1234

This caters for sites that insist the password must contain upper and lower case letters, a symbol and numbers.

Post by: KylieR on January 24, 2014, 10:24:30: I have used the same password for all my accounts for years and never an issue. Although I do worry a little as its not a super hard one. Whenever I have used a harder password, I usually forget it!
