*&%$*! passwords, everytime I turn around I need a new password for something. It's hard for me to use just one consistantly because here at work I need like 3 and they have to change every so often. I've tried jotting them down somewhere but I usually end up loosing the note. Now, I need to ask an ebay seller a question and can't come up with the right password to log in and I've tried all the possibilities. Ebay sent me a dead link to change it, but it doesn't work. Will this remain the norm in the coming years, I hope not..but I guess I had better get more serious about keeping up with passwords until something changes. I've passed on signing up on so many sites because another password was required. It's making me crazy, can anyone else relate?

An easy way to make strong, hard to crack and easy to remember passwords is to use a phrase. Make your password up from the first letter of each word of the phrase. For example.
phrase = 914 club.com is fun! Password = 914c.cif! phrase = Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. password = Nittfagmtcttaotc. You get the idea. |
