I once set my password to "IForgot".

It worked until I had to change computers...

I have passwords stored in a text file labeled something like (Not the real file name)”WinX_strat_pur.txt” It is located on my “C” drive in the Windows program folder. I just have to make sure I delete the cashe on the WP after accessing the document.

A forensic computer person could find it but I doubt seriously that a normal thief would.

If you really want to “encrypt” it download a hexidecimal converter and store a copy on a google drive or windows cloud.

I had a friend who concealed all his passwords as phone numbers He had them listed on his phone as “Mary at the Bank” to remember what password it was.

I personally hate the secret questions. Many times they are too easy for a thief to guess. “What was your mothers maiden name? Too easy to know if you a bit or research. The same is true of your first car, pet or your elementary school. I pick a random word, that has nothing to do with me, my job or my family for those.

Q: Your mother’s maiden name A: Refrigerator
Q: The name of your first pet? A: Refrigerator
Q: Your first car? A: Refrigerator.
Q: Your favorite sport? A: Refrigerator.
Q: You best friends first name? A: Refrigerator
This is very easy to remember but extremely hard to guess; or so it appears to me.
