Linus, before I enter my passwords there, how safe is that site? My passwords are rotated. I use pet names (long gone pets) with numbers inserted as one type I rotate.

Something I learned as a tech support person?

Scenario:

Arwen: I'm here to fix Stephanie's computer.
Random person: She's not here and we don't have her password.
Arwen: I'll look.
1. Inside of drawer
2. Under keyboard
3. Back of monitor

Yep. Found it. I'm in. :| all the way around the offices every time I did that.

The site in question doesn't take your user ID so it'd be hard for them to know where the password would apply. Additionally, Gibson is a long time and well known security site. It would hurt his reputation if he did something unethical (and he's known for protecting his rep at all costs).
