Passwords

Haha Cornishpatsy - I had to resort to that at work (NHS) because I stupidly kept a file with passwords in my online folder then we all got new computers and it was wiped. IT were very cross and told me everyone needs to remember them all and never write them down oh and they all had to be different. There were at least 20 different sites to remember which you had to change monthly! Eventually grumpily he got a software techie to search for it and bless him he did but I then kept a small notebook as it is beyond me to remember passwords to everything!

I write all my passwords in a notebook, the chances of someone breaking in stealing my laptop then hunting around the house and reading a notebook are minimal and better than using the same passwords for multiple sites.

I choose totally random passwords. It may be something I'm watching on TV, a bird that happens to fly by, a car, a selection of random words....anything that doesn't relate directly to me so can't be worked out. The trick is to work out a way of remembering them and I can't tell you that or it will be obvious how I do it.

Every site seems to require a password and DH says I should never use the same one. My head is exploding!

can't help you but know how you feel. so annoying.
