Just curious how often people change their passwords for their computers and websites. I admit, I'm VERY bad at remembering to do it. My email account has had the same pw for the last 4 years. Of course, I really don't conduct business of anykind through email so if someone wants to have into it and read all the forwarded jokes and spam I get, more power to them. The only real pw I ever try to change (when I remember) is paypal. DH is in charge of the online bank accts and he changes them regularly.
Now, at work, we have to change passwords every 30 days, and it is such a pain!! I have 5 programs I have to open up, not including just basic logging into the computer itself, and they all have to be different, all have to include at least 1 number or letter, can't use repeating numbers and the letters can't spell a word. Oh, they they can't be consecutive (ie abcd or 1234, etc). It drives me crazy!! I think it's stupid to go to that length for security when people usually have to write them down to remember them anyway.
I guess that's why I convienently don't "remember" to change mine at home.
Anyway, just curious as to what other people do.
