Maybe something you could add, A tip. Say your password is... Hmmm... Iloveapples
Say you tell all your friends how much you enjoy apples. Maybe they would type that in and get into your account. Instead, Trick them. and add numbers. Like Ihateapples445
Sometimes its easier if you make the numbers something you can remember like.. My birthday is this or my parent's party. Etc etc.

That's a cool idea to trick your friends, but I don't know if I would try that on my friends; I would feel guilty tricking them. But that's just me; I always get guilty lying. Instead, I think a good idea is just to not try to trick or even talk about your passwords, because you might accidentally give something away.

I just don't feel comfortable with this - but then that's just my two cents worth.

I happen to agree with you, webcrazy. My skeptical side came out the minute I read about the password checkers. Microsoft is trustworthy in my opinion, but sooner or later some person will think "Oh, look! I can get people's passwords this way!" I usually do some random thing that has signifigant meaning to me, yet it might mean nothing to someone else.Let's say, for example, your password is webkinzrock123. If this is your webkinz password, it's likely that people would guess this. A better example, I think, is something like, I dunno, ilikecheese432. Just something random. Or, possibly, a secret middle name? I know a girl and she won't tell ANYONE her middle name, as she finds it embarrasing. Therefore, this might make a nice password. Thanks! Please give me reputation if you liked it!
