Good, glad I greased the creative skids. As long as you can remember it and not say "Oh, now what did I make that password????" you'll do OK. Just write it down somewhere safe, as well. it helps to make the Admin user name something unusual as well. Name it after that great Aunt who nobody knows you have. . . that you really don't have. You know, the one that won't leave you billions in her non-existtent will. LOL!
Also, those websites that want you to answer "security questions" such as "Where were you born?" and "What was your mother's maiden name?", there is no law in the world that says you have to answer them truthfully. That was how all those celebrities got their nude pictures stolen: they used truthful answers on their security questions which could be learned by someone researching their bios. All you have to do is remember HOW you answered them! For example, "Where were you born?" could be answered "heaven" or "in a cab" and "Your mother's maiden name?" could be answered "fred" or "1776" and no one will ever know, except you. Just don't forget what you answered. Again, write your answers down. The key is to enter them exactly the same way when they ask again. Make it a practice to always answer those in lower case letters, then you won't ask yourself whether it is capitalized or not.
When I was setting up this computer, my son jumped in and started all that preliminary stuff, think he asked me what I wanted for a pw. Well, something came up I downloaded something and could not remember my user name or password and didn't know how to find it anywhere.
Anyway finally I remembered.
Yes, I have been using that trick about lying to the questions and it's almost as easy to remember them as when I gave real answers. I need to quit using my mom's maiden name because anybody could find it.
I'm going to knock it off for tonight. Thanks again for posting the article. It doesn't look too hard.
