Because if someone knew your password for one site, and knew your account name for another one, they would be able to get on any of your accounts on any site very easily. Provided you kept the same username as well.

Yeah I used to do that, but then I realized how stupid it was, so I changed them all.

You can also use the feature that sends a new password to your email address.

The idea of a password is that it's not let out. If it was, then you could use the function Hunch was talking about, but that shouldn't happen if you're careful.

Ok well, here is a link to a password manager, it is really good. But first you would have to download Adobe Air.
