    Work have started making us change our passwords every month now, so as probably some others have done, I have just started using 2013jan, 2013feb, etc. which devalues what they have done, as before this stupid change, I had a very secure password. Think I may change from the obvious to using peoples names from here, now that could work (I cant use normal passwords, as I would probably forget them ;))

    you work in the public sector? only there do you get this so you must....got to love it :rotfl::rotfl:

    Yep, cant reuse a perfectly good password again. I also have 2/3 passwords that are very good (in my eyes) that I cant use.
