Is anyone else going crazy with remembering so many passwords for every little thing online?  I can't keep track of them anymore............I am going to do as little online as I can from now on.  Of course calling on the phone can take a while, too, to talk to someone.   I know there are storage places you can keep all your passwords, but I'm looking for a simpler solution.  Maybe I just need to come up with a couple of tough ones and use them for most everything.

You can start a notebook and put them in there. I have a drawer that has them all written down.  I need to transfer them to a small notebook.

I keep a file in Word called passwords which I look at many times a week.  who can remember all this stuff?  

I periodically email the latest iteration of this file to myself in gmail just in case but I rarely need it when I'm not home.

Now, Marge, that's a great idea. :-)

It's currently 31 pages of stuff that I'd have no way of remembering if not for the file!!    It's got to be at least 10 years old!

Marge,

If you email it to your gmail account and someone hacks that account, they'll have all your passwords, won't they?

And what about when I access from my phone?  Then I need to carry the list with me?

Marge, it's super smart to email it to yourself.  I'm going to borrow your idea.  That's much better than my notebook idea.

It's one of the many files that I would be lost without and why I back up to 3 external hard drives and Carbonite!

Marge, How do you like Carbonite?  Have you ever had to retrieve anything from Carbonite?

BLORNT, I don't think I've ever retrieved anything from Carbonite.  I back up every night to one of the external drives (using Second Copy), so if I ever need something, which is rare (a few times a year maybe), it's much more efficient to get it off one of the drives.    But for $200 for 5 years, I like knowing that Carbonite is there in a pinch.     And it's easy to browse the Carbonite backup by clicking on the Carbonite icon in the lower R corner of taskbar.  It's all there.  I can sleep easy!

I have a low-level password, a medium-level password and a high-level password and choose one of the three depending on the sensitivity of the information.  The medium-level is a longer variation of the low-level with some caps and a special character included.  The high-level password has all kinds of different cases and special characters, but it makes a certain pattern on the keyboard (albeit a complicated one) so it's easier for me to remember even though it's random.  I use that one strictly for financial information.

Allison -- great idea.  I usually use a variation on a theme for everything.  I works for me most of the time, but sometimes it takes me forever working through all the "themes" until I get it right.  It would be better to just have three.

Allison,

Now that idea I like.  Only have to remember 3 passwords.
