1. Make a random password that's allowed by twitch 2. Log in with the new password 3. Go to your profile settings and change password 4. For new password, simply type the "easier" password (or previous password) and save. And that's it! Thank you and your welcome. | ||

One of our government services requires an exactly 8-character password with no special characters, a number and like a capital letter or something. Enforcing super-strong passwords just leads to people sticking post-it notes on their terminals and stuff anyway. You can't really win, other than teaching people the hard way not to use abc123. | ||

Keepass Totally free open source. It ain't pretty but it's what I use. Available for your droid and iphone as well to take your passwords with you. Stores everything locally. 1Password Expensive but prettier I guess. My brother uses it and likes it. Available on all platforms. Lastpass There are free and premium versions. Works on all platforms. Cloud based. Keeping separate complex passwords for everything is a good habit to get into. May as well start now. Thats just 3 varying options, I'm sure there's a million more available. | ||

If you use multi step verification its even harder yet. I've still got all my passwords on my computer so even if you do have my phone which you're not getting them out of, I can change them all anyway so congrats on wasting your time. I've also got a USB with all them in my gunsafe. Or you could use post-its... Literally unless you're the rainman of passwords using a program is the safest and most secure option there is.

I used to have like 3 passwords for all of my billions of accounts. If somehow someone were able to get ahold of one account they potentially had access to 1/3 of all my stuff. If they get ahold of your email password then the world is their oyster, everything links there. Putting every single account to a unique 256 bit password and changing your security questions to unique passwords of their own might be overkill, but you'll sleep pretty well. If someone wants to crack that shit they've earned it at that point lol. Also with people using credit card/banking info for purchasing everything online with ease it makes even more sense. Protect your shit, no one is going to protect it for you. | ||

https://xkcd.com/936/ BUT, most of the cases, when you are forced to use very strong password, you are limited to quite few characters (like 12~15). | ||

This is the single best way to do it, no real words makes it even harder for a computer to figure it out. So example: The dog ate five apples and six oranges! Crazy Tdafaso!C BAM! a p w ord. | ||

Until you realise that you forget the 'and' and then have to reset your password because you don't know what you did wrong =) at least that's what would happen to me =( | ||

About Twitch, are financial data stored on the twitch account (like for stream ads)? Or are here other sensible information that can have been stolen? | ||

Twitch is one of those websites where consumer accounts are 99,5% worthless. They leaked passwords, now they ask users for stronger passwords. What. The only thing that will do is make the next leak spread some peoples real passwords instead of their 123654 passwords for throwaway accounts. I still have not reset my password. The twitch chat is an abomination, the last time i used my account to subscribe their service immediatly started lagging horribly. In short, i definitly don't miss my account. Now, if only they could provide a decent share of Bandwidth for DOTA. Every Thurs-Sunday, the Dota streams lag. Even when they have similar viewer counts as the LoL streams (i tune in and follow my favourite teams in both) | ||

You could do research into them and make sure the lizard people aren't going to steal your passwords.

Lol well half this I've already addressed in the 3 whole pages of this thread. The bottom line is there isn't a single reason to not use a program to protect your entire life online. The internet will consume more and more of our lives, it's not going anywhere. There will be more and more avenues of potential attack with all the websites and programs you use and you're adding more websites and more programs all the time. You let phone apps literally see all your texts, pictures, contacts, and GPS location without batting an eye. But a locally stored open source program is where you throw up your hand and ask questions? Lets be real. | ||
