do you put passwords on your computer/Laptop.??

No, I don't put any passwords on my computer because it is only used by me.

I am just put passwords to my file which verry important and confidential hence my friend or every body still use my computer/ laptop but can't open my file

I have a laptop and I have even a password in it, It is not a matter of hiding things but it also means that I am protecting my laptop from any stranger who gets to it. I have some personal works like the articles I write and I do not wish anyone to read them before it is completed.

At office,it is mandatory for us to have our own passwords.Moreover, the password automatically expires in 3 weeks so we need to change it frequently too. It is required for security. I don't have any password set at home.But in office its always good to have a password protected system. I don't think it is selfish of you,at all. Since you also have the Guest login set up, your friends should not have any issues.

hi janebeth, i do not put passwords on my computer, all are free to use it.. since it's not my own thing, that's why it is free, lol..!! xchyler.

No.I put some passwords on my computer before,but I realized it was not safe to perserve passwords on computer.There are many Computer Hackers on the internet.You know,they can easily access to others computer and stole some useful information.It may be a great loss to you .To be frank ,I have lost some information until now.

i never put passwords in the lapto i would like to keep it safe as much as possible as it can keep my password in my mind and other i do not disclouse my passwords to anyone if it is disclosed that perons get access through all my password accounts

hi jane. i don't find any wrong in putting password to your computer. besides, that is your computer and you are the one responsible for it. anyway, you have mentioned, you already activated the guest log on, so that's fine. never mind what your officemates say. keep it now as it is.

Hello janebeth Putting a password for your computer is like locking your house when you are going out. It is a good habit. We should definately put passwords atleast on laptops. For home user or a computer at home, it may be unnecessary, since its mostly family who is going to use the computer at home. So in effect, I can say is that, password for a home computer is unnecessary and for a laptop is a must. Laptops usually contain lost of sensitive data about people's businesses and other things. Its a good practice that you have made another guest account for others to atleast use computer for their trivial office work or entertainment issues. That helps you keep yourself out of sticky situation with friends when they say they wanna use your laptop ofr playing or something like that and you also save your privacy from them, if at all there are things which you want to hide from them.

There are no passwords on my computer, but it is a home computer and I share it with my wife and my daughter If you put a password on your work computer that makes sense to me. Wouldn't want anyone stealing your ideas

I do not use password on my laptop, first because I have nothing to hide on it, it is full of work that you may find boring. I am the only one using it, so no need to change accounts, only one account is good for me. and No one will dare look inside my laptop where I live.

It is safer to put passwords but i do not do it as i tend to forget the passwords myself and moreover noone use my laptop apart myself.

Hi, in my office, a laptop is mine, so it has a password, the length of password is long and multiplex, but i record my password in my memo.(laugh) i am a director, conmpany's computers are controled by me, i often am checking if whom is using computers for private purposes, but some people have private laptops, so i don't interfere their private affairs. Well, if anyone doesn't often come to your office, you can set your password.If manf people are using computer in your office, you don't mind them, just be careful wrongs happen at computer and remind them not to abuse public computer. Enjoy mylot!

hii...i don't keep my pc in a password protected state because my computer is used to host some servers by remote....but i keep my folder access very secure that nobody cant use my document......and that's why i don't have problem...... happy mylotting

i dont use pass word since my children are using my laptop too, and everybody in the house can use my laptop if it is needed. No password to use for they can use also my laptop.

Hi Jane, Personally I thinkit is a good idea to put a password on your laptop/computer, it is a safeguard it doesn't in any way to me seem selfish it is just common sense especially if another person went on your computer and found out what you were doing, that could be detrimental to you, how are you to know. You are right in doing that...LoLo

Hi janebeth, You should always use your paasword because its private and no one has the right to log in to your business, it their problem not yours and its for security purpose, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, we all use password on our computersw and laptop, I have my laptop and its only my hbby use the my laptop if he nannot be bothered to use his computer upstaires but he never goses into my files.

Hello friend, I am not using any password to my computer or laptop. I want my family members to access it. I just informed them to scan check their USB first for my file security. Anyways i have a back up of all my files and I know how to install if ever my windows will be destroyed by computer viruses. Most of all there were no secrest hidden.. lol... Gid Bless... Happy myLotting!

I dont put passwords to my computer.Everyone in my home uses computer so there is no need to use password.If any stuff is important to me then i password protected that folder.So no need to worry about important files.Whoever comes to my home either friends or relatives or anyone who i trust i let them use my computer.

Its always better to keep everything password protected...Gods knows only who can damage, modify, alternate or update your useful data, but there are other people who will never do anything but they won't feel good seeing your computer and other stuffs are protected by password which will prevent them from logging and accessing into it.
