Why different users names ?

[QUOTE 4906310, member: 9609"][not really knowing what a 'password manager' is] - would these not be some of the most targeted software for hackers on the planet ? I would have thought the best security would not involve anything connected to the web.[/QUOTE]

This is a good article on the merit of using a password manager

And this site provides a neat illustration of what could happen if you use the same password in more than one place - https://haveibeenpwned.com/

What is your dad's christian name?

No... don't answer.

No need to answer, I'm sure we can get it from the General Register Office

I think I would be easy to find in real life, my regulatory body used to have my work address for everybody to see but have dropped it recently.

What amazes me is that some people are unaware that we use more than one forum. For example; selling bike on Retrobike for £540 and then moved on here for 35 quid more.......

 

[TheDoctor]

Hmmm. There's a few CC people who've been to my house, at least two who know my bank details and a few with my full name. Can't say I'm that concerned.

 

[MacB]

Seriously you've put so much up about you including photos that even a bone idle raconteur like me could probably find you within minutes.

Minutes you'd never get back, I feel grubby just stooping to post this response, the thought of going further makes me shudder.

 

[Speicher]

Of course, my final line of defence is my name. I share my name with a particularly infamous American (so infamous that when in the states many people thought I was taking the pish), so even if someone with bad intent got hold of my name it would be zero use to them on any search engine

I think you are just a big Jessie, James.

I'm pleased to see that Googling my name brings up nothing more than a post I made under my own name on a web forum about a century ago in computing time and even that is slipping back page by page as other people with the same name get publicity, mostly in the USA it seems and mostly in sports or for committing crimes.

Keep a single track mind, don't Ben'd or Reed anything into it.

What is your dad's christian name?

Eccles: Moi name's Eccles, but most people call me by my nickname
Bluebottle: What's that?
Eccles: Nick!

Who was FatFellaFromFelixstowe?
Or does London Road mean anything

 

[Saluki]

I tend to be either Saluki or Millie-Milou on forums. Sometimes Saluki is already taken.

 

[raleighnut]

I can't say as it bothers me overly much, mind you my account does seem to be taken over by a raving drunk every now and then.

 

[Markymark]

Who was FatFellaFromFelixstowe

All of them
