    Ok I need help with the format of a password. Mine currently is #Xxxxxxxxx# and whenever I login I get this notice that my password is insecure. What else do I have to add to make it more secure and get this message away?

    add at least 2 numbers to it to make it secure.

    i still havent changed my password.. im afraid i will forget my new one if i change it. so the security guy has been asking me to change my password everytime i log in for the past one and a half years or so. :p

    nope, you can have them anywhere in your password, just make sure you have at least 2 numbers somewhere in there. and at least 2 letters as well.

    You can't have any of the letters or numbers repeat.

    why cant you have it repeat? mine repeats numbers.

    when i first played, you could have a password with all letters or all numbers. then they changed it to at least 1 number. a few days ago i created a new account, it asked for at least 2 numbers.

    I just saw that guy for like the first time yesterday and I was super afraid that I had gotten frozen until I read it. I have to think up something really good and write it down so I don't get locked out of my account.

    To make your password "secure" you have to have at least two CONSECUTIVE numbers in your password so having one number at the front and one at the end won't work ;)

    The numbers have to be different because I have two letters that are the same, but I still get the message.
