Do not write your password down anywhere

Do not tell your password to anyone, including DNF staff
One important thing i would like to add here is never ever use the same password for all your accounts.Because one of my friend who is into this domain business was completely screwed up because he was using the same password for all his accounts.I will explain this how it happened.
Someone (unfortunately nobody was able to track this person)found his yahoo password tracked all his email, all his movements in the internet.Got hold of his complete profile.During one day,he screwed my friend completely.
He changed his paypal password,changed his godaddy password,he had two servers, changed the root password.It was really terrible for my friend.It was like taking his complete identity.The only way was to phone up each and evry one and get back the accounts.These horrible things can be avoided if we are more cautious regarding passwords.
