Hello mylotters, do you always change your password in your mylot account or other accounts? And how often do you change it? Why do you need to change it every time, to prevent from hacking? Happy mylotting.

I don't change it actually, If you are using mylot in a public PC like a net cafe or PC shop then you should. I'm using mylot only on my laptop so no need to change my password.

Instead of frequent password changing (which is tiring some), why not just install and use good anti-spyware and anti-virus security system that will prevent some malicious traffic from coming in to your computer?

Try use Symantec Endpoint Protection. It's the one I am using right now, and it is blocking some malicious traffic from certain I.P. address. Excellent performance!

I remember only once did I change my password and this was because the wanted a password I can remember very easily instead of a very complicated and long one.

Yes I do it. An automatic / time bound setting will ask to change the password after the required time period. If you find necessary, it can be changed. Normally, it is advised to change the password at times. Regards, Thank-s

No I seldom change my password here in mylot since passwords here do not have expiration or it doesn't require you to change it. I'm also just mylotting here in my pc so I'm prettey confident it won't get hacked. For other accounts I also don't change that much unless they required me.
