Do You Use A Different Password For Everything?

I use to do this until my little password book got filled up. This was when I first started on the internet(1997). Today I only use a few different ones, so my poor little brain can remember them instead of me carrying a big password book around. Do you have many or just a few?

I have to admit that I only have a few. I also have a program on my computer that remembers all the user names and passwords that I tell it to remember. Some websites are SO picky regarding all the rules that your password must follow! It's riduculous. It's like they think they are the only ones requiring a password these days.

I used to use different ones but like you my brain can't remember all of them and which went to what so now I use a very minimum of them.

my memory is not that good after a mild concussion from a fall few years ago, so i always have the same username and same password...can you believe that whenever i change either the username/password, i will forget both when i try to log in to that website the next time? hehe...always happen..so to save time, i will always use the same

I only have a few, things that I consider low risk, I might bunch them together under the same password, and as long as I remain problem free using this plan, I will continue but if
I should run into any serious problem, than I guess I will pull out the old loose leaf...SS

To me I use several different passwords which I can remember and several others which I have to refer to my book.

I only have a few of them that I use. I can't have a ton or I'd forget them all. And if I wrote them down then it probably would get stuck somewhere and I wouldn't remember where I put it. Since I had a child my brain is gone. LOL

I only use three but each of them has a different number at the end that way my little red book has three pages and the number suffix has the name of website I use it for. This makes it much easier for me to find the password if I forget it.

I always use different passwords for everything ,well almost and surely if they are related in any way.I don't trust the roboform( a password remembering software that does more) with my passwords coz what if my pc gets a virus and I can't use the roboform ? A good way to store passwords is in an external device that isn't accessible from the pc,like a floppy or a pendrive.I haven't felt the need yet ,but that is the best way I know of to avoid losing your passwords.

initially this was my problem,I keep giving different password for different sites I sign up
And when I try to access it next time,I would have forgotten it.I get very mad.Then I stopped and now I give just one password and not more.There are three passwods which I have been using,one of which I am Im making permanant use of.
