unfortunately not. But very creative.

Depeche Mode?

Yes.

The hard bit is finding the song 

You're telling me   After the usual well known ones, I'm stumped.

That's why it's such a good method for remembering and having a secure password 

You know what, they'd never guess that my Amazon, Paypal, google mail, twitter, linked in and facebook account passwords are "password", it's just too obvious, who'd think of that - it's way too obvious!

Nope, no one managed to get it. 

The BBC have an article about the heartbleed bug:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26971363

It includes a table of some of the major sites people use in this country:

Thank you El Loro

 Thanks El.

I don't know any Depeche Mode songs ( I am waaaaaaaaaayyyyy too young for that )  but didn't you once say your passwords are the first letter of the first word in the lines of a song or something like that?

I'd like to add my thanks too, EL.

I missed that on the BBC site, but I've heard a few comments today implying that Yahoo! was at risk. Facebook also being at risk is hardly a surprise, TBH, but I find it very interesting that Apple's uncertain at the moment...

OH MY GOD!!!  I've just reset all mine then when prompted to sign in again my mind went blank!!  I've had to click the link for a password re-set 

I changed most of mine after my E Mail was hacked by one of our Nigerian cousins, but I don't do any financial stuff online anyway and if I do make an online purchase ( very rare) I use a credit card specifically for the purchase so I can see straight away if there's something up

I wrote mine down and will destroy the paper tomorrow, once i've used them a couple of times

I've checked out a couple of sites I use, via the link on the BBC site, and it says to change your password - but wait until the patch has been added by the site. How do I know if/when a site has added the patch?

Brian Lenz from the Social Strata help forum has confirmed that all their sites including Gagajoyjoy were not at risk from the hearftbleed bug so there is no need to change passwords on this site.

I think the sites which are in the table above which show that they were vulnerable but now patched are OK to go ahead and change passwords. For other sites it's confusing. It is likely that larger sites which are affected should be patched by the end of today (the tech people were talking about 4 hours from when the news became mainstream). So avoid using the sites today, then change the passwords over the weekend. Small sites may take longer to be sorted out.

Thanks El, that's a great help.

Thanks EL, I have changed my FB one which is the only one affected I think.

My bank came up with a big message when I logged in today it said, in big friendly letters.

Your password is safe.

I felt so much better.

Yes, you are right, that is exactly what I do  Good memory.

Please don;t take this the wrong way Ells, not meant as a dig in any way  but knowing Depeche Mode songs has nothing to do with age, it's more to do with interest. My 14 year old niece is very much into the music of the Mod scene from the 60's and 80's. She also has an interest in current music. I think if you are just into contemporary music, that's fine, but there are plenty of people who like to look back and enjoy some of the great music of the past.

What's betting you go straight out today and buy up the DM back catalogue 

Dammit EC!!!  You made me go google their songs and it turns out I'm not that young after all  I may know a song or two after all.  BUT, in my defence, I couldn't have told you that 'I just can't get enough' was a DP song.  I just know songs from that time, not the bands/singers.

And it's because I'm too young.....alright?    

Saw something a friend posted this week suggesting she should change her passwords to 'incorrect' so every time she got 'your password is incorrect' she'd remember!
