i think win7 forces you to put in a password hint, so i think i set mine to "PASSWORD TIME!!!!!!!!!"

it's a good hint

(as i type my password into gchat for the 50th time)

Mine was my BIOS version number of a long forgotten motherboard I had back in the early 90's. That way if I forgot all I did was reboot!

Good passwords: the dialup password you had to use when you were 8, a windows XP CD key you memorized when you janitored computers.

Bad passwords: puddin1 jerry'shouse7

I'm guessing your password is "I'm a huge ding dong" so that no one realizes when it happens?

All the tricky passwords I would forget all the time have to do with poo poo like insurance companies so instead I never note down the password and they always reset it or do all the stuff I need by phone using poo poo like my mom's name and my date of birth and address as creds because that's how they work. Most of them use your SSN as a unique ID and keep mailing that poo poo everywhere anyway.

Given security is as good as the weakest link, might as well have nothing but the weakest link :v:

i haven't tested that but i know it pings the file you're hosting fairly regularly so a free dropbox/google drive/onedrive might balk at it

i don't use it anymore but it was funny when my hosting went down and i got a look at how i look working/browsing
