Anthro was canceled, so I'm heading home to Jenn after updating my journal, checking my FList.

Listen, guys? If you signed up for the Frienditto thingy, and gave them your password, you're an idiot. Go change it now, and if any of your other things share that password, or a similar one, change those too. And then go smack yourself for being stupid. NEVER GIVE UP YOUR PASSWORD. Except for a very good reason, for example, to allow your relatives to have access to your email account after you die.

That said, here's another, tangentially related warning. Nothing is that secure. LiveJournal isn't a fortress of security (redundant, yeah). Even if nobody gives up their passwords, there's always a chance that things can go wahooni-shaped and somebody can see your locked posts without your permission. Not a huge chance, I think, but have a little care. If it's that important that nobody knows where you buried the body, don't post about it. At all. Keep it to yourself and take it to the grave.

Yeah, it's stupid to give out your password to anything. Lucas learned that the hard way. He didn't know any better, and I never thought to explain it to him. On Runescape, someone offered him something in exchange for his username and password. Then he stole Lucas' account. You know, the PAID account he used MY checking account and routing numbers for. Heh. Then I explained to him what "Karma" is, and that it's a bitch. :p

I always thought it was self-evident that you don't give up your password, but.... *sighs* Guess not.
