I got my paypal account hacked and my gmail account hacked about 6 months ago, but with different usernames and passwords. I could not for life of me figure out how they guessed it since always used strong password.
Luckily Paypal reversed the one they charged on my account, but I ended up formatting and reinstalling my windows PC for fear of some keylogger that no antivruses was able to detect.
It scary that is for sure.
Damn,
I Require a Online Password Generator.
My Password is not exactly strong.
Any links ?
I have strong and different password on all my important account, except for forums/websites where I go 10 time a year. :laugh:. Never been hacked yet, but well we all must have a first time ...
I bet they used your gmail account to request the password from your paypal. Its very common.

Strong Password Generator
Yeah the odd thing is my gmail account was not linked to my paypal, I use a totally different email for that.
i am using password having number+capital letter+small letters which i think makes a good password
1Password is a great application for Mac / iPhone users. It will suggest a password that is naturally strong using random letters, numbers and symbols and then store it. There is also a browser plugin to remember for you.
Lol 123456? If someone is dumb enough to use that for their passwords they deserve to have their accounts hacked and pillaged.
I use a tiered system for my passwords.
Tier 1 - password for priority 1 stuff, like my primary e-mail account, bank accounts etc...
Tier 2 - password for things that hold personal info but is not exactly top secret. Facebook, Netflix, Gamefly etc...
Tier 3 - password for websites that I don't trust or have a high chance of security breach. I also have a 2nd e-mail account that I use for these sites in case there is a password breach. That way they won't try to hack my primary e-mail account.
So with a system like that I only have to remember 3 passwords.

We all have trouble remembering our accounts at some point,so it doesnt surprise me that this has happened.People prefer easy passwords,and sometimes just too easy to remember/hack.:P
Anyway,i generate new passwords for every account i create just to be sure.Not that it can fully protect me,but still i feel safer.
