Well lets see, you can use any passwd you want, the problem is hoe secure it is ...

And lets be honesy an user has around 3 and more accounts, so sometimes is not easy remember all of them.

Anyway a recomendation is to use a complex passwd: €jEmP1@

I think people get hack beause they forget to log out at public place like using computer at the library,using hotspots

That is my guess

I'm surprised that people still use "Password" as part of their password.

What?
dmm said that a member from here got their VPS hacked and messed up by someone. I'm guessing that dmm just reinstalled the VPS, so, yes, we still have the VPS.
