Is it difficult to remembr Pass-words

I have to keep a small notebook next to my computer to write all of my passwords and their corresponding sites into... otherwise, I'll completely forget ALL of my passwords.

I have the same problem,too. but I can't help out this bad memory.since the last time i forget where i put my house keys and the net bank password, i begin to use a book to write all my net-IDs and their passwords.and everytime and everywhere i take it with me, but there is one question to think about indeed, it is not safe if you lost the book by carelessness. don't you think so? but so far,it is the best way for me to keep the passwords

I write all of them down but I also put them in a folder off of my emails.

I am also a very forgetful person. Now I use my birthdate as my password which is quite easy to remember. Except for paypals which I specifically have a unique password and changes it every now and then. But I have also recorded them in my notebook in case of any different password that I apply.

Use ROBOFORM software. It remembers all your passwors. You only have to remember your master password. It a great solution on personal computer.

I've used this same password ever since I was 11 and my family got our first computer. If the site did not allow the password length, I'd always use a sequence of numbers that I knew would always stick with me.

I have two stages of passwords: 1. entry-level for forums and non-vital memberships 2. advanced - for banking and secure email etc.. Each level has just two passwords so I only have to remember four in total. I have often thought that I should keep a notebook next to my PC with the logons for each internet service but I have not yet got around to it. I don't think it's a great idea to keep them on a spreadsheet on your PC because your PC may be open to attack - a hacker would have much more of a problem trying to read your hand-written notes. On the other hand a visitor (wanted or unwanted) might make off with your notebook... so you should probably use some sort of encryption or shorthand that is obvious to you, but less easy for someone else to understand - if you have really bad hand-writing, that might qualify as encryption Those are my suggestions - I would say yes to a hand-written record, but I would make it so it would not make a lot of sense to someone who might see it.

I actually have the same password for all my sights or if requested i have the same password with the same numbers in the end of it....Bit risky i guess but i keep them as proper seecrets

I think it is difficult to remember passwords, especially if you are like me. I mean, I have different passwords for the different activities I do on online. For example, I have a password for all my online debt payment sites, a different password for my email accounts, and a different password for sites that I have subscribed to. So yeah, I would say it's hard. But I guess it helps to have everything written down.

yeah i do forget password frequently..instead i had to lose my account many times for feeding incorrect password ....... is there somethin that collects our password on differnt site and gives it when needed......

I only used two user ids in many sites and one user id for let's say fishy sites. The password of my two main user ids are almost the same in pattern and most likely the same usage but different position. As for my user id for fishy sites, I only use the same passwords to all of them since I really don't care what happens on that account under that user id. Now that I am having lots of sites and different passwords for them, I keep them all in excel. I just put a password on that file so that no one can see them except me.

oh yeah I love an hate passwords sometimes I forget some of them and some sites doesn't let you get the password back so that youcan start a new account and I really really hate it , and I love them cause they keep you safe

Its hard to remember passwords specially if you havent visited that site for a long while.I even forgot my passwords on my online game accounts.Its much easier to remember if you use that pass a lot.

Hi, actually i think it depends upon the password u have used in ur account like if u have used such a password that u use in ur daily work i don't think u should have any problem remembering your password now for example you are using ur own name for the password then i don't think there will be any problem to keep the password in your mind, now take another example like you are using this password AASSTR4875JUYI can you keep this password in your mind, at least in my experience i don't think so. SO my conclusion on this topic is that it depends on the user what password is he/she using.

you are right.it is also difficult for me to remeber variouus username and passwords,i tried to keep a diary but my kids take it and say it aloud .so,i thought to keep one username and password for all the sites.and now i go to only mylot.

I try to keep my passwords simple so that I can easily remember it. I hate passwords that are a jumble of words and numbers and would be impossible to memorize. I do keep a small notebook for my passwords.

To me it is difficult to remember passwords. I have an account/member with about 90 different websites and it is hard to remember those passwords. I do just like you, I keep my usernames and passwords stored in a notebook. Nobody is to touch that notebook but me. Many websites gives you the option for them to remember your password, but I never chose that option because I'm not the only one who use my computer.

I don't remember passwords too. So, I have a simple trick. I have one password for everything....something I just cannot forget. :) Cheers and happy Mylotting

I also have this problem. I have many different user accounts and mainly used one of three "usual" passwords I have been using for a few years. A lot of sites have started asking for 8 digit or 8 numbers and letters passwords. None of my three matched this so I had to get creative and create new ones. Also I realised that if someone found out even one of my passwords they would easily be able to access a lot of my sites, with my name. There have been many times when I have type in a password that resembled something I could remember, just to find that I couldnt for the life of me remember what it was when I tried to log-in. I have started keeping a log of what my passwords are for which site. I do not see any other solution to this problem. Except maybe just use the same password for everything but that can be dangerous. Also keeping a journal may be dangerous as well cause someone could find it. I would recommend creating a hidden password protected file in your computer with your passwords. Just don't forget the password for that file cause then you really are in trouble.

i write all the passwords in my diary. And whenever i am logging on a particular site i just check my password and id from my diary
