How do you remember your passwords...? email this discussion to a friend?

san_683 (60)   ranked 1,011 out of 15,182 in internet4 months ago

Hi friends
I am sure most of you guys would have more than 5 different usernames and passwords, as for me i have around 8 different usernames and passwords, right now i am struggling to keep everything in mind, plus my memory is also weak....so now i am writing down any new password or username created on a paper or in a notepad and refer to it wenever required
People say that is the most foolish thing to do, because anyone can read it and get in to your personal stuff, i however make sure to use code words so that only i can understand...I was wondering how would you guys remember such difficult things???
Happy my Lotting

Dear friend, i have written down all my passwords in my working pad which nobody touches so no question of cheating.

we can remember our password with some consideration, may be we can use our "parents", but not their name you can choose something more specific, like their "big problem" or their "anniversary"

and we record "our password" with that way in our brain
we'll develop our brain

I usually write down my username and password for certain site which i don't think i will gradually visit it on a notepad. Notepad is mean a notepad application on windows. Simply it is like a piece of paper on our computer. We can easily make a notepad file from right click on our windows desktop and choose New and Text Document. It is very simple and time efficient. And next time when i want to use those details, i can simply copy and paste it on its site. Sometimes we can easily forgot some login details if we seldom use it. So write it down or save it on a text file in our computer is the best way to keep the details with us. It usually happened only for unpopular site. But for my mostly visit site which require me to login, i can remember all of my account details on these sites. Good luck and have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

since i use different computers its difficult to get the notepad file everywhere, guess your method is useful for a single computer.

Hi buddy, I have many account on the internet, such as e-mail, facebook, myLot, blogger, and other website. To save my passwords and avoid to lose it, I always save it in my Laptop. I always save my password in a note pad and place it in the place where no one except me can found it. If you doubt you save it safely, just save it in a*.rar extension and give it a password (call it master password). remember your master password, so if you forget your password on the internet just open it with your master password.
I think it is safer than you just save it and hidden it.


san_683 (60)   ranked 1,011 out of 15,182 in internet  4 months ago

nice idea, i will follow that....Thanks

Hi there san_683, I usually write down the user name and a very different passwords for different sites in a note pad which I keep next to my computer. Usually nobody touches this pad, because nobody understands computers in my house. Usually my pass words are simple words, and not a complicated mathematical formula.

I use roboform software.. its saves all my password.. when i want to login to any website, i just click on login in roboform and select the website and roboform automatically fills my username and password and even automatically loggs me in..
and all password are encrypted so no worries of passwords being stolen..

I also vouch for this program, especially the "to go" form. Completely free for non-profits/non-commercial use.


myLot reputation of 87/100. owlwings (5259)   ranked 60 out of 15,182 in internet  4 months ago

EpicCyndaQuil, I believe that Roboform is free for up to 10 sites. http://www.roboform.com/why-pro.html After that you have to pay (or complete an offer for something else). At first I thought it was free to use but as soon as I got over 10 sites and tried to use the auto login it told me that I needed to register. It is so useful that I am seriously thinking of paying. $30 (or $20 for one that works from a USB thumb drive) is very reasonable for such a useful tool!


myLot reputation of 92/100. prajnith (445)   ranked 2,259 out of 15,182 in internet  4 months ago

ya this software has proved to be very usefull for me..
i honestly have forgotten password's of some websites, every thing is handled by roboform,even it fills the form for me which even includes password form and so keylogger problem is eliminated as passwords wont be captured by keyloggers..

If you have joined lots of websites which needs to enter password or you come accross lots of form filling,then this software is a must..

hey dude this is the common problem which every new user faces. but i dont find any difficulty in it because i write all my pass words and regarding the security i apply a folder lock option on that particular folder so there is no question of getting hacked


san_683 (60)   ranked 1,011 out of 15,182 in internet  4 months ago

ah, folder locking but for quick usage, every time you have to unlock and then lock again,...

I use much more passwords than this and I can not remember all of them. sad But what I do to remember this is that I have saved them in two of my mailing cites and I remember the passwords of those two mailing cites. Everytime when I will need some password that I do not remember I can just look it up from that mail. This way there is no chance that somebody else can read those passwords. And also I have sent it to two so if by chance one of them is not working I have the backup also. May be you can also use the same thing. thumbup

There's a program that I would definitely recommend and I don't know whether you have heard of it or not but it's called Roboform! This is a program which you can either use for free or you can upgrade to the premium version, this means that you can save an unlimited amount of passwords. Anyway, by using this program you can log into all the websites that you are a member of and your passwords, usernames, etc will be input automatically by the roboform software. This is a great idea and has proved to be very useful for me. I have come to rely on this program now. There's nothing to worry about either in terms of security, it's totally safe. I would definitely not recommend writing your passwords down on paper, this can be very risky and can lead to loss of data or information. Check out the website www.roboform.com Good luck. Andrew

Thank you very much Andrew...
