So many accouts, usernames, passwords!

Hi lynettebyc, i'm actually not as active as you for joining so many chatrooms and forums. I only have 3 email boxes. As these 3 email address are active used, so, i don't have the problem on forgetting the password. My main problem on managing the passwords is in my office, as most of the application and server need dual sign on, so, i actually write down all my passwords in one paper and keep it in safe :p

Exactly different accounttypes for differet services. That is the best way for remembering. But keep on changing your password. There are lot of frauds in our online world

I for one have many email accounts..I have three yahoo ones, a gmail, a hotmail and an AOL one. A few of them I use just for silly stuff and two of them I use for the 5 forum sites that I have and the other one just for other stuff...I have one username that I use but have two different passwords for them.

I have a lot of email accounts but I don't use them all everyday, I have long time without sign in on some of them, well not many time for lost them but maybe more than one week on some of them, I am registered in a lot of site too so I try to keep the same password for more of them, I know it is not safe but I don't want to waste time trying to remember password, of course some of the we sites that are important for me I have a strong password and for be able to remember the password, I have some of them write down so I can check them easy.

it always help to write down your usernames and passwords especially if it is income-generating and very important... before i use to have different usernames... now i only use 3 and it helps... just put numbers beside my usernames and different passwords... i write them all down.

Hi! I used to do that too. I mean I just use a username and password that I thought of during registration. Now I dont do that anymore. My mail accounts are just extras and one of them is a result of a typo so I made another account again with the name I wanted. Later on, I found the typo account to be of some important use so its all good. With my paid sites I use only one username, family, friends, and school another username(which reminds me; i might make another account for all my schoolwork, its starting to clog up my personal family/friends account), and I have one for junk mail.^_^ I may have the same username for my paid sites but I definitely use different passwords. I change them up too sometimes. I have a system that I remember all my passwords and I dont use Roboform or any other software.^_^

hehehe.. i've tried doing this before when i was a newbie online but the thing is i'm a very forgetful person and i easily forget things especially passwords. so i make sure i write it down if i decided to have a new password or username from the old one.

writing down your username and corresponding password always helps. if you're afraid others might find their way into your journal or whatever it is you're going to use you can put a sign or a code that only you know how to decipher. a good memory always helps. i too, registered to a number of websites but i use one username and same password except here on mylot. you should be careful you don't mix things up and completely forfeit your registration.

I have about 15 different email addresses but I only use 3... One's for just sigining up stuff on internet so I get all the junk mails there, one is for work & the other is for personal use... As far as passwords go, it's same thing just different variations... I have different user names for different accounts but they're fairly easy to remember because there's only 3 different user names, sk66rc being one of them... It's also same with one of my email accounts...

I always use the same logins and passwords for everything unless the website or page requires something weird. Even then I try to use the same thing but maybe capitalized a letter or something depending on what it requires. Otherwise it gets pretty confusing especially sites that don't allow you to save login info or for websites that you don't visit often. Also I have a lot of websites that are used for working, some of those are assigned so I have to write those down so that I can remember them.

yes,i usually use the same account.and i often categorize password.and make connection with them.so if i forget the password i can choose them that not to much.also i can seek it from the protection of password.

When i see the topic,i want to come in to tell you,why not only using one?5?you just didn't use the same?I think then you will note in a book,which mailbox with which account,usernane,password.....you are so strong,in good memory,indeed.And if it is long and complex,it's safe.

It was not suggested using same username and password , for if you lose one you will lose all. There are some professionally tools that can manager account info for you.You also can do it by yourself, it's easy for you to write all account info by notepad.

some for one thing some for other, passwords, not much... But if you start inventing new things you could get sick and forget about them... I suppose that with 2 usernames and 2 passwords you are ok.

I always try to have the same password because thats what I need to remember the most. It doesn't work well that way since everybody has slightly different rules. So, I keep a notebook with a list of all the sites I'm interested in, the ones I join, the ones I put aside for the future, its like a job by itself. But I do have a lot of similar passwords.

Hello lynettebyc, i have two types of usernames and passwords. One is the private, the other is less private which can use your name and birthday. You should pay more attention to the former one. You can find a special name and munber for them.

I am as you have a lot of mailboxes, blogs, forums, etc. I use for that 5 user names and passwords, I mean every username have its passward, then at this case I can remember it all the time. Try to use this way it is a good one. Have a nice day.

Yes, I've encountered the same problem before. But now, I manage to write down all the information in a notebook, so I can check if I forgot any of it. BTW, there is another way that help. Firstly, you can catogerise the website base on the purpose or other criterion, and register with the same username and password based on the catogery.

I fell your pain. I also have many, many usernames and passwords. Its hard to keep em all straight! If I dont log into a site for a while il most likely have to keep mixing a matching username and passwords before I get in =)

i use 2 usernames, and always to same password if not 1 other. i just find it easier to remember :) You should just make a note of them all instead of trying to remember:)
