Passwords

I have a separate password for
  1. sites that don't have my credit information and which I use rarely.
  2. sites that don't have my credit information but which I use often
  3. sites that do have my credit information but which I use rarely
  4. sites that do have my credit information and which I use often
  5. facebook
  6. twitter
  7. google
  8. laptop partition 1
  9. laptop partition 2
Really not that hard. I change # 4-7 every semester, and sometimes more often than that, depending...

Some sites want a password with one lowercase, one uppercase, one number... etc. Sometimes I wonder if they check that with regex and whether I could escape the regex and borkenize their somethings. ...A quick bit of research shows that Delicious is immune to my clumsy regexes. Curses, foiled.

Funny fact: Delicious insists on more password security than my bank does.
