All the facilities that internet brings in, it also comes with an additional bagagge of being alert all the time. Which means that we have to keep changing the passwords and think of stronger ones intermitently in order to be safe.

So, how often do you change passwords?

Mostly i shuffle between the select passwords that i have in store. If i opt for something different surely i will forget in a day or so.
Hope this time i am first to answer your post.

I would hardly change my passwords till some time ago. I found it too cumbersome to remember and would often get confused and forget the password. Then after realsing the dangers, i decided that i would do it more frequently to the ones needing to be more secure, like my bank account and paypal account. I try and change them once in a month making them more complex. The other sites i invariably change less frequently. It's quite a bother, but required to ensure that we keep ourselves as protected online as we can.

Changing passwords for important accounts is a must and that I learned the hard way. Its believed that anything in the dictionary can be deciphered. So we have to be careful.

I change mine about every six months or less. Depending on my mood or the sites I have ended up on and oops go and change a pass word. Again. I have a folder I keep them in. You have a great night/day. Onlydia

Hi Mimpi,

I don't change my password unless the site requires me to. My bank for example requires the members to change password periodically, so I have no choice but to think of one. I don't like changing passwords because I tend to forget them. Still, I keep a list and I do update it from time to time. It comes in handy whenever I'm confused which one is for what sitelol. Hope you enjoy your vacationhappy

Hi mimpi I usually change my password whenever I use public computers.. otherwise my passwords remains the same.. or sometimes if any one else sees my password when I am typing it that time also I change my password..

That's a wise thing to do, I really appreciate.

I change my password, from time to time on most of my sites that involve getting paid. I can't say that I do it regularly though. A friend of mine told me that she found it easier to use the same password on every site as it was easier to remember. I told her that if a person managed to hack into one of her sites, then they would know them all. She has since changed that and uses different passwords for each site. happy - Derek


myLot reputation of 99/100. mimpi1911 (8127)   ranked 3 out of 15,182 in internet  3 months ago

You are right Derek. I think its wise shuttle between a few strong passwords. I try to do that even though I admit its a boring job. happy

Hi mimpi,

I am not changing my password frequently. I may forget the new password and it will create problem for me. But I have chosen a strong password (I think) so hopefully I won’t be in trouble. I am using different passwords for different sites so frequent changes of password definitely confuse me. lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. mimpi1911 (8127)   ranked 3 out of 15,182 in internet  3 months ago

I can understand the hassle. but its only wise to change our passwords, especially the bank counts and payment sites. You can keep shuffling among the passwords.

Thanks for reminding me! I've been thinking it's about time I changed mine. It's a good time for me to do it too because I'm doing a reboot as soon as I've saved things so everything will be new.

I tend to choose stronger passwords for the websites where money is involved but I should do that for all websites.

My problem is remembering them. I have to write them in a word document. How do you remember yours?


myLot reputation of 99/100. mimpi1911 (8127)   ranked 3 out of 15,182 in internet  3 months ago

I just hope you are finished with the reboot and changes by now. I keep shuttling among a few passwords. I have a method of myself. Like all the passwords related to the same site are the same and so on. But, sometimes I am lazy.

Hi mimpi, you have a unique nick name.
I think like that because mimpi in Indonesian mean dream.

Back to the topic. Actually I never change my password, because no one who ever no my password, just me who know my password, and my password has combination alphabetic, number, special character, upper chase and lower chase, so I think my password is safe. How about you?


myLot reputation of 99/100. mimpi1911 (8127)   ranked 3 out of 15,182 in internet  3 months ago

tHAT'S A WISE THING TO DO. sTRONG PASSWORDS DO ENSURE A LITTLE MORE SAFETY. happy

I don't really change my password as I don't think that anyone would really guess it. However if I am seeing some strange activity and things are changing that I haven't been doing, then that's when I will be changing my password, so no more harm can be done to my account.

Yes dear. We must be careful. happy
