I never log out 

greek letters is another good idea...

Neither do I...

This sounds more like it belongs in "All About Scratch". I hope you don't mind, terminator68, but I'll be moving your thread there. 

Anyway, to add my two cents in:
~ A good password is something that is long and nonsensical; using a combination of lower and uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols is the way to go.
~ It's a good idea to have your password changed periodically from time to time.
~ Bad passwords include:
     - your username, or part of your username
     - the word "password".
     - a string of numbers in a row (ie. "12345"), or a string of letters or symbols on the
       keyboard (ie. "qwerty" or "!@#$%")
     - things that you know that other people may know about (birthdays, for example).
~ If you're using a public computer, or sharing computer, REMEMBER TO LOG OFF YOUR ACCOUNT. And if the internet browser asks you if you want the browser to remember the password, CLICK 'NO'. To make doubly sure, you may want to clear the browser cache when you're done surfing the Web.
~ Some sites are fake and look like login pages to the website you're looking for - it's really a scam to get at your username and password. Look at the web address, and make sure you're logging into the right site.

Thanx for moving it! I wasn't sure where to put it :S

Thanks for sharing all your information! I'd happily sticky this, but it's not like the problem will stay forever...

This should get stickied.

It doesn't matter if there's a hacker going around or not; it's good to have a secure password.

This reminds me about my Code Messenger. Some people have said that they could use it for a random password. But please... don't get your password there. Wait until I release a version for 1.4. I'm working on that right now.

What I do, but sometimes scratch logs me out 

Method 6?
1. Create an account on some kind of site when nobody can see what you write(such as email)
2. If you are using an email, create a new email folder like 'my messages'
3. Send a message to your self with passwords etc.
4. Move it to your folder
TIPS
If you are using a site that lets you type little things nobody else can see, make sure admins can't see it either(though they probably won't hack your account). Possibly create some false emails too. Have several emails that 'have your passwords', but only one actually contains. Change your password for what you are using alot, because if they are in that account they'll see your password for the site, username, and email.

Hmm... i might be able to figure this out if i know the victims

I think we should let the Scratch Team look into it...
ANOTHER METHOD:
Step 1) Open one note, and make a new "passwords" page
Step 2) put lots of ASCII in your username (ex: Greek Letters)
Step 3) Copy and paste from one note whenever you log in

Here's an idea for a high-security password you can remember. It might be complicated, but you have next to no chance of getting hacked.

1. Think of things you know you can remember and haven't given out to anybody online (street you live on, parents/friends/pets names, etc.). You can also add your current password to the mix.

2. Find some way to connect these randomly, but so it flows in your mind. Write it down somewhere, read it over and recite it until you memorize it, then keep it in a safe place just in case you forget. If you wrote it on the computer, put it in a folder no one would think of looking in.

Keep in mind, this is only if you want serious security. My password is 20 characters long from doing this.

Thank you for those helpful tips cheddargirl!

Thanks Jonathan.
