100% agree. Using "password" as your password will allow you to sign up for twice as many web 2.0 sites in the same amount of time. As an added bonus, you'll always remember your password at the 10% of sites you return to a second time.

Start here: you forgot gmail. With your gmail I account, I can get most of what you do with money online.

You're also ignoring reputation. Breaking your Facebook account may not be a huge win by itself, but if I can use it to get your 50 Facebook friends to load a Javascript worm, I might have probably 40-50% of their bank passwords. Look what happened with Orkut a few months back.

Agreed - now I would use my 3rd tier pwd for news.YC.

So true. Most websites don't deserve good, distinct logins.
