I hate passwords. I'm pretty sure everyone does. You create one password that you use for everywhere so you don't forget but you know that it's not very secure. The other day I had to create a password on a site I will end up using once or twice a year. For this reason I wanted to use a common password of mine but the site only allowed passwords with a length of 6-10 characters and needed to include one number. Well my regular password did not fit this description so I have to make up a new one that I have never used. Now, I guarantee, the next time I go to log in, I won't remember this password because of it's restrictions. Then I will fail to log in and have to create a new password where it will tell me those restrictions again and I will remember what password I probably made for the site. This is why I hate password restrictions like that. The worst thing I've come across is a site where you have to enter your "pin" as a password. I always spend forever entering in all the number combination I can think of only having to reset my pin, only to find out that your personal identification number can include alpha *and* numeric characters. Awesome. I also came across this list of passwords twitter doesn't let you use because they are too common. My favorites: computer, hooters, marlboro, qwerty, thx1138, and the ever classy trustno1 Labels: web
