|
 |
I got email that my twitter account as been compromised? so I reset the password to what it was before and decided to deactive the account all together..but few minutes later it was activated again..figured someone has that password written down...
i cant keep track of all accounts that I used that password...different boards..or other accounts on plenty of websites...i don't remember them all to change it...
this sucks and I need to drink even tho I have exam at 13.30 about some creepy mathematics I have no idea

websites that don't matter i use a simple easy to figure out password.
websites that matter i use a password i've been using for a long while
websites that have my private information have a 30 letter password (incl spacebars) (depending on the site, there's a variation in the way the password is written)
But all you lost is twitter, and facebook... so what?
as for randomly generated passwords... keep those  for shit sites i just google my e-mail for passwords and it's some random ass GX9fasz342Bc password and i use it. 
you prolly got a spam e-mail that linked you to a fake twitter account site like twiter.co.ck and you entered your password  there's a tonne of those fake sites that gather passwords. contact twitter and have it resolved asap before all your accounts are taken hostage.

It wasn't fake twitter account website, I always check hyperlinks by going over mouse and waiting few seconds to see what website it actually goes to...learn it from worlld of warcraft scams...
I changed password to twittter and deactived account once again :/
its just person can log in to any other website that is not paypal/gmail/facebook/nfohump 
I think this is what I will do, generate some long password for each facebook/gmail/paypal and just write it down on a piece of paper
and I think I will cancel internet on my cell phone, i dont trust those bloody cell phone companies and using their networks

yeah like you gonna do that.  once you enter social networking, you never ever leave. if you do, you go back to it. Nowadays not having a social network account is like having aids.
