With computer hacking increasing by the day and the net being littered with TrojanHorses one can't be too careful.Normally I change my passwords once in a while. Do you think it's a good practice to keep changing passwords or is it just a hassle? How often do you change your passwords if at all?

No I don't change my password that often.  Maybe once a year and when the need arises. I have never thought that our password can be stolen.  But those computer savvy can harvest our passwords anytime they so wishes.

Oh not so often for me because I always forgot most of the time so I stick to only one password.

It has never been a situation for me.But if I thought that someone has idea what my password is, then next day they will get an idea that I have changed my password.Not regularly but still ocassionally

I m an IT graduate and i remember reading a module on security.Its advise to change your password regulary and avoid using any digits or alphabets / words that are associate with your name or any  thing related to you.Its kinda dangerous and also anyone might just be able to bruteforce n retrieve your password.

Seems like many people don't feel the need to change passwords
