Ebay say change your password

what ive done is changed all my passwords to things i cant remember. had to put them all in a spreadsheet on my laptop. if my laptop gets stolen, im properly screwed. theres just no way to have passwords for about 200 different things, have them all different, all have numbers as wll as letters and remember them all. doesnt help that you need a password to scratch yer arse these days.

logging in by fingerprints has to be the way forward shirley? or a universal card that you can scan. or summat. the whole things out of hand. when the sites say you need to include a number and it has to be at least 8 characters long or some daft sh1t, thats when the password is less secure not more. cos you cant bloody remember it and have to keep a note of it somewhere.

pin numbers are only 4 digits long and hold access to all our sodding money, yet they seem to be secure enough, and hardly anybody keeps a record of them cos 4 digits is easy to remember. so why the hell does a password for a pointless website that you only use once or twice need to have all these characters with at least 1 number in them??

Do people still use eBay? It's been so long since I last used eBay that I can't even remember my password, or where I wrote it down.

Your password is baconand3ggs hope this helps

Thanks

If you forget your password, as long as you remember your user id, you email them

and they send you your password back

some may ask a security question but not all

so seems little point in having one at all??????????????????

Wtf is this the main news item on the beeb website?  Is there some hidden importance to this that I am not getting.

dunno. i havent changed my password. cant be arsed.

i dont have any credit cards or whatever registered, i use paypal. without my paypal password, good luck with stealing my money.

plus i only keep a few quid in my bank account anyway, transfer it all to my savings account to avoid getting diddled.

sounds sensible bob

I was diddled on internet, no goods, no refund...I only use paypal now

and no online banking
