I feel ashamed to live on the same reality as whoever did such a retarded thing.
Seriously?
What kind of retard would put their username as their password?

I've seen a bunch of people logging into multiple websites (including Toribash) by entering their username, select the password gap and enter a bunch of numbers.

A little technique I like to use is create a password, invert it, save in notepad. And if you are not the only user in the computer, lock it with some free folder locking software.

I also think this is a nice technique:

Think of a long phrase, put it in notepad, get out the initial letters of each word and you have a new password.
