Title: Passwords
Post by: melodylogan45 on February 21, 2015, 06:16:11 am
Do you memorize all of the passwords you use on a daily basis or do you write them down?

I have to write them down.  I have a special hidden place for that list.

There are a couple I remember but some sites required complicated passwords, those I wrote down but are hidden.

The ones I use often I memorize, the ones I use infrequently I have to write down.

My memory is so horrible I usually use the same one for everything but there are a few that you must add an extra # or symbol...I have to write those down ;)

I have a scrap piece of paper I write them down on. I don't write them all down because I worry about people trying to get into certain accounts. Any account that has to do with money I keep in my brain its usually safe there until I forget and have to reset it.

I use a nifty little add-on to my Firefox browser called "Last Pass."  Remembers all my passwords and some of them are VERY long.  You can use it to create new passwords for you, too.  I love it.

I try and keep my passwords down to a few. I don't write them down, but sometimes I need to go through 4 or 5 before picking the right one!

I try to us the same password so its not hassle to remember them, it can be quite pain to loose password or forget them

Since I change my passwords depending on the account every few months I do write them down and keep them in a special place. :heart: :peace: :wave:

I used to write down all my passwords but now I have a trick to remember them.

I can remember them, most of the time, and not have to write them down. Although I feel like my memory is going so that may change soon. I did have to ask to have a new one sent to me on another site recently.

Post by: ktheodos on February 22, 2015, 05:15:46 am
I write most of them down, but memorize the ones I use all the time...plus, mine are usually similar so it's easier to remember...worse case I can just request and reset a new one...

I used to write them down and have different ones for everything. Now I try to keep the same one and don't write them down. When I change them they are all the same. That way I don't have to remember a bunch of them. BMaston12

but i write down the passwords for websites i dont visit often.

Post by: plennis on February 22, 2015, 10:41:24 am
The ones I use most often are memorized, some by me some by the computer.  I do have all of them written down in a safe place.  Then if I cant get in after a try or two I can get it without having to do a reset.

I have them all written down, but I also have them memorized.

Post by: myles26 on February 22, 2015, 05:39:10 pm
No i cant memorize all my passwords because the companies make me change them on such a yearly basis that i just have a book that i write them all down in.

Post by: crisstar on February 23, 2015, 09:19:37 am
I used to use the same password on every website - BIG mistake!! I've had various sites hacked into like Facebook, Craigslist, two different email providers including hotmail (now Outlook) etc... :sad1:

I've always heard not to use the same password, but I was stubborn and didn't listen.  :'(
 
Now, I've come to my senses and I use Last Pass. It's the best thing out there. I wish I had used it sooner.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I do both memorize and write them to have a backup. Many are very similar so its easy to write them to keep track of all of them.

I write them down, and I am going to change all my passwords today too.

At my age, I think I need to write almost everything down. Somehow my memory is not as good compared to 15 years ago or so. Even my bank code it is so difficult to remember.
Title: Re: Passwords
Post by: davidh121 on February 25, 2015, 03:01:07 pm
I remember them, but keep on telling myself to right them down as I have so many and I periodically forget. I try to make them somewhat hard to figure out, but this makes it hard for me.

Post by: reiddb on February 25, 2015, 05:35:25 pm
Well....now that banks are requiring a change in passwords and you can't even do a play off the old one, I'm going to have to start writing them down!;/

I remember all of my passwords.  But I also write them down so that I don't forget.  As I get old, I do forget here and there. :)

Post by: dreamyxo on February 26, 2015, 08:19:44 am
I know all of my passwords for the sites I use frequently.  Some others I write down especially the ones I don't use a lot.

Post by: gsdoss on February 26, 2015, 08:44:22 am
I try to write them down on sites that I don't go all the time.And try to make it harder to hack in to. But they are really smart the hackers.

Post by: countrygirl12 on March 04, 2015, 10:42:00 am
As often as we have to change them I figure most people have to write them down.  I have 2 at work and I have to change them every 3 months or so and I cannot remember what they are.  You also cannot use anything close to what you used before.  Like if you use  Word1 then next time you cannot use Word2.  Grrr!  Ridiculous.

I use a free secure online service for my password called Passpack ... you can google it for more info

Too many to remember...write them down against all the security warnings and put them in ABC order.

I keep it on a spreadsheet which is password protected.  So I just need to remember one so i don't forget it.  :)

passwords are becoming a big pain especially since you apparently need one for everything these days.  I simply just try to remember them all but, I'm sure one day I will have to write them down!!
Title: Re: Passwords
Post by: ericdavid26 on March 04, 2015, 02:28:27 pm
definitely write down the ones I don't use everyday, if not all memory
Title: Re: Passwords
Post by: sherryinutah on March 04, 2015, 02:54:55 pm
I have my own strategy for storing passwords so I would have them even if I no longer had my laptop.  I think we all have to find a way that works out best for us.

Sometimes, I set up accounts for other people who aren't computer literate so I need to be able to access their passwords, as well.

I don't try to remember all the passwords I use.  I am always changing mine so I need a place to park them that is secure.
