Default Do you change your passwords

Recently I have seen many servers and hosting accounts get hacked and stolen, and so I try to change all my FTP and account passwords every month or so.

How often do you change your passwords?

I would change them from time to time. It's not easy to keep track of so many password but that's the best thing to protect the account.

I change them at least every quarter. I am very paranoid when it comes to these things

I never change my passwords, but my livelihood isn't contingent on what I do online. Not much more than a hobby.

I don't change it a lot yet since there is nothing major going to be stolen, but when there is, i will be changing it quite often.

Actually, I hate changing my passwords because I'll have to memorize the new passwords again and again. But there's no other option if I want more security.
