We have to change our stupid passwords every month or so. Absent-minded hobbits like me can't keep track of 'em. Maybe I should write them down and keep 'em in my desk. :)

I have signons and passwords for 28 different systems within the hospital, some of them rarely used. I keep them in an encrypted file within my Palm Pilot. No way would I trust my memory, and I'm not about to set a bad example (and violate corporate police) by keeping them on paper.

OTOH, executives get simple passwords that never expire. I see lots of passwords on stickies on monitors.

For most of the loggons, I can look up the screenname/password confirmation in Lotus Notes. I've got the Lotus Notes password in a file on the computer....didn't think it would do much good to put my network loggon on the 'puter. But since I use that one everyday, I can remember it. except for that month-long hiatus I took to work on the house last summer. Well....at least I'm polite to the tech people. :)
