The problem with passwords is remembering them. The greatest password in the world is useless if you can’t remember it. And you don’t dare store your passwords in a computer, since it might get hacked.

A password manager is the solution to that problem. I use RoboForm to manage my hundreds of passwords. I only have to remember a master password that provides access to all the other passwords.

Get a password manager like LastPass or something and learn to use it properly. I really don’t even know most of my 12-16 character randomly generated passwords anymore. That along with a few simple rules in life - like never clicking on links in an email, go directly to whereever by entering the url yourself - will change your life.

The passwords I have to remember are usually something highly offensive so that they won’t be said or emailed anywhere ;-)

BTW, used to manage a group of computers and databases and etc. back when I was working so I know of whence I speak.

ALL my pwds are on my computers/iPad/iPhones... put them in an Excel file password protected... it’s encrypted and unless your ‘dealing’ with a professional supercomputing agency trying to break your pwd, you are safe.
