    It's hardly like it matters that much, it's a student forum, not your bank account. And if you're stupid enough to use the same password for everything then you deserve everything you get :yy:

    As a member of MANY forums and accounts online, no one will have 100 passwords, someone will have the same somewhere eventually.

    I doubt that my usage on here can be used to defraud my bank account or anything. I just changed my password...
