I would guess that I now have about 20 different passwords that I have to remember for various websites.
Sometimes it is a real PIA.

That's why I am loving my new laptop. It has a finger print scanner, that I didn't know it had. When I got it out, and discovered that it did, my first thought was "what a waste, I'll never use that". Boy was I wrong... best feature ever. I have to scan my finger just to turn it on.... so it's safe. I hope I don't ever get my finger cut off...

I think Anthony Weiner had the same type of scanner for his cell phone but it wasn't his finger!

It's been a long time since I have seen a post from you!!
How are you doing? I am getting older, but I am also staying warmer year round. LOL
From your picture, you look the same as you did 10 years ago.

I tried using the fingerprint idea on my laptop...all I was able to accomplish was killing an ant that was crawling across the screen.
Now I have to clean the screen...again.

I have the same 4 letter password here since I first came here under the name of Hassle Fiasco.... Far as all other sites, I use the same password and add some numbers...

I've actually started looking into the password encryption software because the unthinkable happened again. 52 passwords...gone. I was keeping all my passwords on an old Palm Pilot. No connection to the web, one simple password to open it. The problem was that it runs on 2 AAA batteries. Way back when only a handful of passwords were necessary, and I really didn't use them that much, the batteries in the Palm Pilot died. Lost all my passwords. Okay, no problem, a handful of passwords changed and re-entered into the Palm Pilot. Now I keep a close eye on my battery life and change them out as soon as they are about 3/4 depleted. But just a few weeks ago I tried to change the batteries and it wouldn't come on. I changed them to another fresh set, no go. Too late. After pulling out the batteries you have about 10 seconds to get a fresh set in or the memory is wiped. So I lost all 52 passwords again. Well not quite all of them. I had started putting passwords on a memory stick as a backup, but only had around 8 of them done. I liked the idea of having them on the Palm Pilot as it is 100% secure as it never gets connected to the net or even my computer.
Anybody using encryption software for their passwords that can give us a review on likes, dislikes, cost?

The worst is online banking where they want you to change your password every 90 days! Remembering them all is a total hassle. The network here at the gallery requires me to every once in a while, re-enter the darn thing. I check and see there are seven other networks around me and none of them are easily hacked into.
The next thing will be for longer passwords and some cvv code. I have a hunch it will be like finding good lettering brushes soon.
