Do you always forget your password?

Wow, you sure make life difficult for online hackers or offline thieves. I wonder if you have written down the code somewhere so that your loved ones will know how to decode the password.

@scheng1 No, I probably should do that, though. Anything financial is in code. I want them to be able to access the bank, pay pal, and other sites if something happens to me. I keep info because sometimes I don't remember my username or which email I used to register. There are emails I don't use anymore, too. Life online can be very difficult if you don't know your info.

@scheng1 It is very important for the company to impose a password change because otherwise many people would keep the same one for years, so eventually it will become known. If you have the option to change a password at work anytime, then you can easily circumvent the change. When requested to change, change it 2 or 3 times and then change it to the original password.

I think when we add in the passwords that we use for our work, online banking, and other sites, the total number of passwords is a large number. There is no way for us to remember all those passwords. I hate my office policy that requires us to change our passwords frequently.

I tried to remember all the keywords but I can remember a few only. Sometimes for banking and stock trading accounts, these always prompt you to change your password. Whenever I change my password, I will forget about the new passwords soon. I guess I just have to write down all the passwords

@scheng1 Yes those are tricky and the ones they generate are long and complicated..I had a problem with my online banking account and had to go to the bank every time to set it right ! Now I write everything down to make it easier for me ..

I try to do that, but it is not possible. Some sites have more stringent requirement. They tell you that your password must have Cap or number or whatever, and in the end, you have to create new password. In the end, there are too many passwords

Yes, I start to do that too. Sometimes it is annoying when one site accepts a password, and that password is rejected by other sites. i think the banking system is most irritating. They require password of upper case, lower case, special characters, numbers etc.
