Don't forget the guy that salted his own passwords - googlepassword, linkedinpassword, yahoopassword (yeah ... he probably has a Yahoo account).


How is this bad?

I mean sure, if you can get access to one password, you will be able to predict passwords for other websites, however, these SALT + WEBSITE-passwords tend to end up very, very long, which makes it very hard to break. Afterall, every single password you listed there is at least 13 characters long.
