Password: Blow me.

[40cakes]

Dear Livejournal,

As my password is based on a character I created in college while pretending I knew how to draw, and never did anything with, and never told anyone about, no, I DON'T think it's too easy to guess. Unless my ex-boyfriend is trying to hack into my LJ. If so, that's kinda pathetic of him, and you should just tell me that instead of giving me a message asking me to change it. Especially when I try to change it to ANOTHER made-up word and you tell me THAT is also too easy to guess.

Kiss kiss,
Casey

I know
Mine is a made up word.
Nobody in the world could guess it.
LJ jerks think they are soooooo smart

We don't HAVE to change it do we?

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

No, but I'm the sort of anal retentive person who'd change it so I don't have to see the reminder every time I make a post, asking me to change it.

Heh. My password is basically random letters and numbers. I'm really surprised, because I'm usually not that motivated to make passwords like that. But I'm glad, now, because that message would really annoy me and make me change it to LJSUXXORS69 or something.

hey, don't lie! I tried to log in with "blow me" for a password and it didn't work!!!

I'm used to ignoring annoying things.

mine is a combination of 2 random words. I'm lucky if I remember it half the time..im not worried about others hacking.

The best passwords are derived from a multi-word phrase. You cut a few words from the phrase that make some sense, and then you mess a word up. The example I like to give is "Think Bule Count One Tow". The original phrase is "Think Blue, Count Two" which is the title of a Cordwainer Smith story in which a girl uses a password to save the day. Really, the whole phrase is overkill. Any three words in a row out of it would be fine..

I wonder if it gives that to anyone who doesn't use numbers in their password... you're the second person I know who got that reminder for a random password of their own creation, but without numbers. Mine has been the same for two years, since I got MY reminder when my password was just letters.

LJ is weird.

OK, I feel a lot better now. My password is a combination of words only me and my best friend from high school would ever think to put together, and as I know he has no interest in "hijacking" my journal, I don't think I need to change it. But it's nice to know everyone else was apparently getting that inane message, too.

Mine is also a made up word, which I do not believe I have ever uttered aloud in my life. I think cheekybaby is right, perhaps folks wihout numbers are the one's getting the silly messages.

I don't know why anyone would want to hijack my journal anyway. That'd be pretty lame.

i've never gotten that reminder. no numbers in my word, either. hmmm. but gmail doesn't like any of my passwords. grrr.

[gonzostar.livejournal.com]

just kidding. apparantly they did something to the system last night cuz i got it when i just updated. BITCHES.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

OMG will change all your pretty icons to ones made in MS Paint! Bwa ha ha!

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

I'm used to noticing annoying things and hacking at them until they go away because what the Hell else do I have to do? Comes with growing up in the suburbs.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's the numbers thing, then. MySpace started that, where you have to have a number in your password.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

ALL ONE WORD CASE-SENSITIVE!

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I leave everything logged in constantly everywhere, otherwise I never remember anything.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

You're such a smartie. That's why I changed my password to <3kirk<3*.

*Except they said that was a dictionary word and then I threw my computer out the window.

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Also, apparently "squelchy" is a dictionary word and cannot be used as a password. Who knew?

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Gmail thumbs its nose at your passwords!

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just got it today, never before. BITCHES!

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I doubt the ex remembers the password, but hey, faith in the human spirit has failed me before!

I think they want everyone to have numbers in passwords now. THEY'RE MAKING US MACHINES!!!

[cheekybaby.livejournal.com]

Whaaaa?

[fadingembers.livejournal.com]

I know, right?

I ask that you please not use that picture as an icon. Thank you.

Hear, hear! My password is *counts* well over ten characters long, and even if I do tell someone what it is, they can't spell it! I got so mad when I got that message. I'm fond of my password. *sniff*
