When you have to change the password, increment the 00

I used the same password with 2 companies. 1st one required us to change the password every 30 days. 2nd company every 90 days. I was up to 38!

I've used a similar technique for years. We've got some systems though that complain there are not 3 characters unique from the previous password! And my usual format of password has a special character, yet we have some systems that don't allow them! So now I've got a "special character" version of password, and one without.
