I know this is stupid, but I haven't changed my email password for like a year, and this morning I found that I was locked out of my own account. After some frantic tries I was able to reset the password but it almost felt as if someone broke into my own house or somehow I couldn't get into my own bank account. Very scary, and this is the 2nd time it's happened to this account in the past 10 years. I need to be more careful with my passwords.

cute kid in our avatar, is the second one jealous? What is your password? HOw are things going? Please enter your password ______ here.

 

it's "S2KFTMFW"


seriously though, i'm really paranoid right now for the possibilities:

1. somebody guessed my password - very unlikely but not impossible
2. somebody has a sniffer/logger on my computer that i don't know about - how do i detect one?
3. somebody has hacked into my home wireless router - possible, but i've got WEP setup, i've got it NOT broadcasting, not sure what else i can do.
4. somebody has a sniffer/logger at Qdoba/Panera Bread where i've logged onto the free web access service. i never log into anything really important like financial sites but i have checked my email once or twice.
