If you've used the same password here as you have elsewhere, it would be a good idea to change it!Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

From the article:
Documents show that the most popular password among Gawker users was "123456", followed by "password" and "12345678".Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggageVERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’

I have never used any of those, although I tend to use the same password all the time.
There WAS nothing like rallying, Superrally is a joke!

Or if you use a well known grocery delivery website, your password is usually "shopping".
Yet some people wonder how it happens to them??If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

I've taken to using a method based around a combination of a personal code plus something specific to the website. That way, all my passwords are unique but I can calculate a forgotten password.
Example, and I stress this is NOT my real method! Let's say my personal word is APPLE and the site is motorsportforums. You could alternate the letters to make something like AmPoPtLoErand then surround it with the length of the URL (16 letters in this case). So the unique password would be 1AmPoPtLoEr6.
My method is, of course, completely different but it still results in a long random-looking string which hopefully won't appear on any dictionary lists; and which I can still calculate should I forget.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
