Just 5 minutes ago I changed my password for security and hacking purposes of course. Have you recently changed you pass? Do you go crazy (like I do) by adding capitals and lowercases? I'm super paranoid about hacking now since I read some user's handbook. From now on I'm probaly going to be changing my password every week.

Do you think I make the best topic subjects?

No, I don't usually change my password too much. I change it when I start getting bored with it. Which doesn't take much. I've been here over 2 years and haven't been hacked, so it's been working for me. Although everyone of my accounts has a different password.

You do make the best topics ever!

I wouldn't say I go crazy... I used to have the same password for everything, but have since then tried to use a different pass for everything... resulting in forgetting many of them. Now I add capitals and numbers and try and keep my new ones long. According to one website, my best password would take trillions of years for a program to decode 3nodding

I rarely change my passwords, though, except for major things.

She lay down on the grass,
Looking up at the sky,
thinking, it’s all she can do.
If she disappeared she would not be missed.
She will be gone just like everyone else.

Getting up from the grass,
she walks on the sand,
looking outward towards the sea.
She walks into the water high up above her knees.

I'm going to choose to not answer due to even that being personal info... [Not the kind that will get you banned, but to me even the amount of times I change my password is personal.]

But I do want to inform you that perhaps changing passwords during a glitch might not be the best idea... You never know how bad the glitches can be..... But at the same time, it might be a smart idea...

~~~♥~~~♥ Narc Lit ♥~~~♥~~~


The waves softly hit her legs.
She looks at the sunset and its yellow-red hues
she walks into the sea, farther and farther,
opening her arms towards the wave.
The water is high up to her hips.
The wave comes towards her.
She looks at the wave with her arms stretched out;
the water starts to rage, the wave hits her body hard.
Then the water calms down. The water recedes,
then darkness falls, and all goes dark.
The sun goes down and the day is done.

After the Subeta hacking thing, I've made sure to have my Gaia passwords different from all my others.

I had the same password on both websites, but somehow I wasn't hacked. I have no idea why. o_o; *was lucky?*

I tend to change my password on here every few months for various reasons. I don't wanna tell you what I use in my pass though. =x

I have been here for almost 3 years now and have yet to have an attempt to get hacked.
I got those stupid PMs asking for my password but i usually just report them.

But i have only changed my pass once since my old one was the same as many of my other pass on other websites.

Well... it is better to be safe then sorry?

I changed my password recently. I know a few people who've been hacked. I heard the best way to prevent hackers is to come up with a really difficult password and you don't want to use the same one you've used with your other accounts, e-mails, etc. My mom writes them down and puts that piece of paper somewhere safe. Even keeping your passwords in e-mails can get users to hack onto a message board like gaia if you keep your password stored there. If you have a password, never mention it or give any kind of hint away in your posts. I don't give any key words to whatever password I choose.

I've been super paranoind since I got logged out right after opening a PM (that turned out to be a scam anyway...D; ) a couple days ago. Now I always type my password with the onscreen keyboard and made it a weird and complicated mess of upper/lower case letters, numbers, spaces, and symbols. xd

I never change mine, I probably should.

I'm awful with s**t like that, my password is always the same thing.
