As some one else said if it is for this site then ignore as long as this is not the same password that you use for your banking what is the worst that can happen?

Having had an incident in the past, I worry about Identity theft.

I refuse to do online banking, I still go into the high street bank. Hopefully, it will keep it open and employ people rather than robots. Thankyou for your reply.

Mine are in my head so probably not safe at all have to admit I get muddled with them sometimes and try to open Facebook with my email password and vice versa.

I reckon remembering passwords is good brain excersise

Re: Are Your Passwords Safe?

I have so many passwords that I use a password manager:

https://www.roboform.com/

RoboForm remembers your passwords so you don't have to. Just remember your one Master Password and RoboForm remembers the rest. It's that easy! Our bookmark-style Logins automatically log you in to your favorite websites with one click.

Re: Are Your Passwords Safe?

I rarely change my passwords, use three different ones on different sites. They always consist of a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols.
