Re: Stupid User Tricks: Password Selection - "WORD1"

But it's VERY hard for a MySpace phishing bot to get the password from the yellow sticky note on the side of your monitor. Or any hacker, for that matter. All you have to worry about is the FBI raiding your house, and your evil little sister...

Silly move on my part but done out of convenience for another adult member of my household: I wrote the user name and password for our router on the top of the router.

I recently had DTV installed. The first thing I did after the installer left was change the password on the router and black out the information I had previously written on it.

The other adult member now carries a laminated business card in his wallet with the router information on it.
