I have already changed my password yesterday (and it's hard to guess), must I change it again to avoid deactivation? Just want to know.

if you want to keep your current password and you believe it is secure enough, change it to something else then back again, please.

Good one peppy, Now I have no clue my next password. But yeah, this is for the best.
Time to help a bit.
Use something like '153ELaIsMolSm' as password, if you can remember, use several capital letters. Signature number is great too, like my 053 in Ain053, It's certainly not because Ain052 won't work. Just pick your favorite number (Preferably 3 Digit like 423), EXCEPT, 13 and 666 as they are known as Devil's number and IS quite popular. Don't put your username or something familiar or related as password, they are just easier to guess.

Just a side note. If you want the strongest password you ever had, use definitely [b]12 characters[/] of lowercase, uppercase, and numbers. I once read an article about this. Password which consist of 12 characters is hard to be hacked by some of hacker's application.strager wrote:

Make your password a piece of text. It could be some quote from literature, lyrics from a song, or dialog from a movie. As long as it's not "never gonna give you up" or something else which is easily guessable (though Rick Rolling hackers does sound like fun).
The only problems with using passphrases are that some sites limit the number of characters in your password and sometimes the chosen text is in a dictionary or is easy to brute force.
If you're really paranoid, throw in some numbers and punctuation or use .
(As if this information matters.)
Good to know, my password just happens to be 12 characters :9VanMoNky wrote:

What about public computers?You can't use cookies with those.Powerdrone wrote:

I remember my password, duh. I just have it saved on my browser so I don't have to type it in all the time.crystalsuicune wrote:

BTW,changed my password yesterday.
Why not? Afraid of copyright disputes? The sheer pinkness in public? Sure, you don't have a client, but that doesn't mean you can't check up on maps you're following / making.Pokebis wrote:
On that note, though, who would log onto the osu! forums on a public computer? I sure wouldn't.
I'd personally find it a nuisance to have to change my password when I get home which seems like a reasonable thing to do after logging on to the forum on a public computer.K2J wrote:

I don't trust those filthy computers and their monstrous spyware! I guess.Azure_Kyte wrote:
Or you could, you know. Make sure it doesn't save your password by not checking the save box, and log out when you leave.
I rather use 2nd ID to log in.Jarby wrote:

if they still don't change their password within months, will they get permanently deactivated?peppy wrote:
Any accounts that don't have their password changed within a couple of weeks will be temporarily deactivated (requiring email reactivation)
Somehow I'm not feeling the temptation to test that out.Zetta wrote:

So if you type your password on any post it comes up as *'s

See,
That password is kinda weak, you know...Zetta wrote:

I'm not changing mine, it's strong enough for brute-force to take 5 centuries.
And I don't feel like remembering another one complicated password.
