Another list of accounts and passwords has been published on the interwebs:

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/...-aol-users/?emc=eta1

Yahoo confirmed Thursday that a file containing approximately 400,000 usernames and passwords to Yahoo and other companies was stolen Wednesday. A group of hackers, known as the D33D Company, posted usernames and passwords for what appeared to be 453,492 accounts belonging to Yahoo, but also Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, Comcast, MSN, SBC Global, Verizon, BellSouth and Live.com users.

Good reminder to reset your passwords.

One of the reasons why I love ST!

Between all the accounts I have that require a new password every few months, it's password reset day about once every two weeks. God I hate password. I'm mostly just guessing a few different ones that fit my scheme.

I'm with you. Some smart engineer needs to invent a retinal reader that automatically somehow ties the eyeball to the site's password so all you have to do is look into your smartphone or add-on device and boom, entry.

I wish I was an engineer.

But QWERTY is so easy to remember.

I use a computer with the same mentality I use the locker room at Master Swim. I assume everyone can see everything so I make it as uninteresting as possible.
