    When your password expires and that particular site wants a new one from you, how much do you change it? Do you usually put in a whole new word or just add a number to it?

    It doesn't really come up but when it does I just reuse the old password, it can't seem to tell the difference.

    I usually change the whole damned thing, that is very annoying when that happens.

    I don't have any sites that require password changes.

    Some annoy me by setting parameters (8 or more letters AND numbers).

    For a while at work we needed to set a new password every few months. I had a rotating list of six because the computer remembered that many previous. It was a waste of time - glad it is now gone (I think the CEO got tired of it)

    I usually keep some sort of variation of the old one....something that I can remember.

    That hasn't happened to either site I go to.

    But it does happen here at work.

    That annoys the hell out of me. I have three regular passwords (4-letter, 6-letter and 8-letter) that I use and am able to usually rotate with.
