format (too long, too short, did or didn't have numbers, did or didn't have
punctuation, did or didn't use capitals, etc)
7) If a password is generated for me by a website than I use this password instead
of one of my normal passwords
8) It is easy for me to use different passwords for different websites
because I use a password generator to create my passwords

related to tennis use another password
