I use password “groups”. And I vary the complexity of each “group” based on the sensitivity of the information the password protects.

I also store all of my work passwords in a password protected word document. It’s safe, though. The name of the document is “don’t open this”.

;-)

If you forget one of your passwords, just call the IRS and have them look it up in your file.

I liked using “special fonts” whenever I could. Not every site would allow them though.

Don’t worry. The fbi and the irs can get into your accounts and files. Just call them.

I just tape my passwords to the back of my keyboard.

re: “The only decent solution is to install a dedicated password memorization program “

So, do you have to remember your password to access the password memorization program?

So... does this 'program' store your passwords on your hard drive, or on some 'cloud' on the internet ?

We have to have passwords to fill out forms on the Ambulance I volunteer for.

They make us change the passwords every month. It’s funny watching people trying to figure out what their password for this month is. Most of them have to write it on a slip of paper they carry in their wallets.

It’s a truly dumb system.

But the most stupid thing about it is that they have to sign the form with the mouse when it is finished LMAO. Some of the damndest signatures you ever saw.

Well, no matter what I type it turns up looking like little bitty dots, so I just use little bitty dots. Saves time.

I forget passwords that I rarely use, but ironically, my email has been hacked twice and once I got a fake email from Amazon asking me to reaffirm my credit card (the day after I ordered something).

In other words, you can have the most complicated password in the world, but if they hack into the servers, they will get it.

Takes a bit of easy setup, but provides a pretty good solution...

Make a simple text document with your editor of choice. Input all websites along with the usernames and passwords.

Use GnuPG to create a master password and use it to encrypt the text document.

To retrieve any of your stored passwords, just read the file with your master password. Copy what you want into the clipboard and paste it wherever you like.

Done.

This never bothered me because I like to keep things simple. So whenever I need to create a password for something, I simply make the password "password".

It's deceptively simple because if I ever forget it, all I have do is think about what they are looking for...password. That's it!

Lately they've been tripping me up on some websites by demanding that the password contain numbers and not just letters. But I outsmarted them because I simply put in "pa55word" for a password and it is once again easy to remember.

Now some may say that making my password "password" is stupid but think about it. Who would ever think to try "password" if they are trying to hack into an account?
