Do Y'all forget them? Geez, I locked myself out of two sites today! Then, I felt silly, but I have about five or six that I rotate and sometimes, I confuse myself. :lol:

If you make your password "Oh, *&#@!, then you'll always remind yourself of it when you forget.....

I keep a password protected file too (in about three places: two on laptop and one in cyber space) and have to go through about three steps to get through. I didn't have my laptop with me and couldn't remember my password to cyber space yesterday. Too much funn over the last couple of weeks, evidently.

I only remember the goofy ones I use daily - have to reset or get emailed all the others!

Figure it's a pretty secure password if I can't guess them. :blush:

Some have a little black book for contacts & ph #'s. I keep one for log-ons & passwords. Works great unless I'm away from home & forget the book.

I use Roboform (Password Manager, Form Filler, Password Management | RoboForm). I have well over 200 passwords that I use on a regular basis and there's no way I can remember them all. The great thing is that each one is unique and all I have to remember is the master password that then pulls up the site, enters the login and password, and continues on. It also remembers form info like names, address, credit cards, etc.

I highly recommend it as it has a generator that creates very difficult to hack passwords (nothings fool proof). They can be real short and simple or ridiculously complex. It maxes out at 511 characters and I can't imagine entering this everyday:

Normally I use 8 characters of letters and numbers with random case thrown in. Anything more than that is overkill unless you are accessing nuclear launch buttons.

Roboform is also online so I can access it anywhere and it works on the iPhone.

Am I correctly understanding that you keep ALL of your passwords, credit card, and personal info on ONE very easily accessible internet site? :eek:
