I've developed a system (kept only in my head) where every password I use is based off on the name of the service. This means that with just one of my passwords, you're most likely not getting anywhere. With two, you have a bigger chance of figuring out the differences and thus the system, but it works fine for me at the moment.


Other than the simple top 100 password list, a password based on the name of the service is the most likely password that everyone has.

Usually something like "domainname"+"common password for all sites"


Don't underestimate me. It contains many numbers extracted from the letters according to various rules (order in alphabet, backwards, etc), along with special characters.


aha! same for me ;)
