Hi srijeevan, I have about 10 email accounts and I don't remember most of them.. I also have registered in thousands of pages.. What I do is to remember only one password, from my gmail accound and I store every registration info in there. The other thing that you can do is to allow your browser to remember every password you enter.. for example, in firefox you can go to Tools, Options, Security, Passwords and check "Remember all my passwords" and you can set a master password that you will use only when you try to read all the passwords stored

Single password for all the sites is not good in my opinion. I'm using the computer that not only used my be. So, I clear my passwords or uncheck the option. Thanks for your response.

I think you should provide yourself a log book and list down all your id and password (not a full password but a clue for you to remmember your password) in the book. In the list, you need to write the address, purpose of the site (email, online earnings, games, forum and etc.), your login id and password clue. I have do it and it is easier for me to search what ID and password that i used.

Even I've more than 7-8 mail accounts. I've a universal password for all the sites. I browse with Firefox and its got the feature to remember passwords. So i need not enter the password every time. Or you could write down all the passwords in Microsoft Excel and protect the Excel file with a password. Just go to Tools and select protection and enter a password. Just remember this single password and you can get the rest.

Try writing the information down and keeping it all in one place. If you are uncomfortable with that idea, put it in a documaent file on your computer for easy access. Transfer the information to a disk so you don't lose it if something happens to your computer. Another trick is to try to use the same password for each mail account to avoid confusion.

Actually I kept my passwords in a text file. But opening and searching for a particular id or password is time consuming. Thanks for your response
