JohnWho: are you the fellow who founded Identity Lock, by any chance? the one who posted his social security number everywhere and had it painted on his company trucks?

I have it on good authority that he really did that because he couldn't remember it.

Now, he's reminded often.

I stick with the good old fashioned phone number. Works wonders........ especially since the one I use isn't mine or anyone I know anymore.

I always leave it blank. They try forever to guess it

How do I get help? Who is helping me?

thanks to the movie "hackers"

for ruining the image of hackers.

not crackers.

but hackers.

random,
but this thread name reminds me of a part in the movie
that talks about the favorite passwords, love, sex, and god. (there might have been more)

MY family's old DSL modem had "xxxxxxxx" as its password. When I was opening some ports to use torrents, and I found that out, you better believe I changed that sucker. Our new router has higher security now, a random password, and I don't use torrents anymore, so were more secure now.

I wonder how many 70-year old grandmas and/or computer newbies still use "xxxx" and "xxxxxxxx" as their password....
