Hack “Your Passwords”

A friend gave me a great idea at least a decade ago. Your passwords are safest when they are different for each site you visit, but keeping track of so many passwords is challenging. He suggested coming up with a formula for your passwords that is the same every time, but that is customized to each site based on the name of the site. So, for instance, maybe your formula is: The last two letters of the website you’re on, followed by the month you were born, followed by your favorite sports team, and ending with a symbol (!). That way the first two letters of your password change every time, but the rest of it is the same and easy to remember. It has been a life saver!” — Sophie, 53
