They've been doing snuff movies since 1942[^] at least!

Forgot my password, had to reset it.
Discover this unfriendly rule: "Please choose a password that you haven't used before. To help protect your account, you need to choose a new password every time you reset it."
This is age-ism! How could we, us old gizzard, remember a brand new password every time we forgot the old one?!

Simple: put a number on the end, and just increment it by one!

That's what I do, but on occasion I've had the message "your new password is too similar to your existing one"

I would avoid such sites as they are either storing the plain text or using a really weak encryption - a decent encryption will be very different for similar words.

Similarity checks don't need plaintext unless you go with an extraordinarily slow hash function.
var variations = GetAllOneCharactersChanges(newPassword);
foreach (var variation in variations)
{
if (oldPasswordHashes.Contains(Hash(variation)))
{
tooSimilar = true;
}
}
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Not necessary. Most "change password" forms require you to enter old and new password. With both at hand they can check for similarity. Now if reset password form tells you about similarity...RUN!

your initials in all caps
a loved one's initials in lower case
a single special character as *, @, etc.
month password created i.e. 02
year password was created i.e. 18
I use this for all my work related passwords. this is especially effective for passwords that need to be changed every n-months.
the important part is that the password remains the same except for the last 4 digits.

Along the same vein, keep the string the same and change the casing
AbcDef1234
becomes
aBcdEf1234
becomes
abCdeF1234
etc
etc
until you run out of combinations then move the numbers to the front and start over.

And always be honest when she asks "Does my bum look big in this?"

This seems to be "an universal question" ...

the title of the song translates to

"No bigger than usual dear" is my standard reply.
I'm pretty sure I would not like to live in a world in which I would never be offended.
