It's a great article, must have took some time, but certainly worth it. And I really do hate some sites which limit passwords to 6 or 8 characters. At least DeviantArt doesn't do that. ^_^

Same here .. plus then there are some sites that only allow you letters or numbers (deviantArt allows you to use everything, even odd characters such as ‡ or so), and sites like ebay are told not to care about capitalization (so gOOgley and gOoGlEy would be the same passwords X.x).
Glad to hear it helped, though ^^ Let's hope less people fall for these tricks now ;)

I've taken these factors in account whenever I joined sites in the past. It's always good to have a good reminder on the tips.
Well done and thanks for the reminder ^^

Well, the first thing you should do is changing your password to something else, she wouldn't be able to know or guess .. then check that the e-mail address AIM has on file is still your correct one, so she cannot use the 'lost password' tool .. that's pretty much the best thing to do, if the password is changed and the e-mail address is correct, she wouldn't be able to get on anymore (AIM also tells you if she would sign in while you are signed in)

Hiya ^-^

First of all, thanks for your nice words - and sorry for my long delay responding to them - school and such kept me a little busy these days ^^;
Yush, you're right though, there are loads of easy way, and if the passwords aren't easy to guess already, many give them out surprisingly fast .. like, once someone said they'd give away a rare item to the first one asking them, and if you asked them, they just wanted the password "so they can give the item to you" .. ooor, some even give it out to someone claiming to be staff, want saying they need to check a problem with the account ("otherwise your pet might be gone") .. and some just give it out to someone who turns out to be a bad friend X.x
Meep, guess the only thing one can do is being a shining example and not give out passwords, and helping your friends, right? Since if you already could get the passwords, someone else might, who isn't as friendly, no? ^^;

Hiya,

You need to go to Neopets and fill out the "Account Access" form to contact neopets' staff, so they can help you to regain access to your account.

You can find the "Account Access Form" here: [Link]

On neopets? Oh, just click the "Help" link on the navigation bar, and then, at the bottom, there is a "Change Password" link. You can also just click [here], if you prefer ^-^

err .. try the tombola? coltzan's shrine? ^^; I think the only thing I have on neopets are a few omelettes so my neopets don't need to hunger when I'm not there, but that's it X3 Apart from that, play the games and have fun, the neopoints you get automatically from playing games and all that stuff ;P

If the site is well done you can't do it besides guessing, but most sites (including this one) will record who the guesses came from, and might complain to your Internet Service Provider.

Hiya,

Just go to the Neopets Login Page and on the very bottom, fill out the "Forgotten your password?" thingy, they'll e-mail your password right to you ^^

Thank you very much for writing this article. =) It helped me a whole bunch. ^_^
The lengths that some people go through for things like these are sometimes really disgusting; you could find fake login pages on google if you searched for it. -_-; gah.

I know ^^; The really disgusting part is what people search for on google, when they come to this site .. let's see, I have a "how to steal a password from neopets", a "how to get your friends neopets password" (some friend, huh?), a "all passwords on neopets.com" (a little greedy, no?) aaand so on ^^;

Oh, and you're welcome - thank you for your nice words, too ^-^

Hi,

You'll need to contact the people on the site you forgot your passwords of - with some luck they have a "forgot password" feature so you can just have your password sent to your e-mail address, so look for that ^-^

If you forgot your password on Neopets, for example, you would go to this page - at the bottom there's a "Forgot Your Password" field, which you fill out and follow neopets' instructions ^-^

No it doesn't, it's not supposed to do that O.o;

To recover your neopets password you'd go to their login page and fill out the "Forgot your password?" field near the bottom.
