Who am I? What's my password?

Remove all ads!

Anyone else lose the little text file that remembers what your login and password are for sorcerer's ?
It was working fine earlier today but suddenly it was gone and my machine didn't know my password.
Had to get the system to email me with the details. DOH.

Seeing as I got your attention

 

For one dollar you can save all your trouble, in the future. Buy a notebook and write down all your codes. Keep it next to your computer. Easy huh? Don't tempt a computer's stability.

 

...kind of makes me think of all the "very secret" administrator passwords that are neatly written down on post-it notes and placed carefully near all the "very well protected" computers out there...

 

What about recent losing laptops - from secret services....LOL

And the password was: password...ROTFL

 

I have 3 different password used on different places. Then I have only 3 options on each place I go .

 

Bah I have my password in my head, no need to write it down...

<ten days later>

Ok Ok I'll write it down!

I reuse the same password as much as possible, which makes them easier to remember. I'm not always behind the same computer, and having to carry a notebook around isn't very tempting. I think I have like 3 passwords total. One for IRC and webboards, one number code for those magnetic cards, and one for e-mail.

I used to have another password a year ago, but I used that one only as a means to finally start remembering the car's license plate number

 

All of my usernames have a clue to the password, for example this p/w has somethig to do with the sterophonics. (I wont say no more for fear of everyone knowing my password)
It simple and effective

 

my suggestion - become a child

all children have selective memory (me being one currently) meaning they remember what they want to remember (which for me includes passwords) and nothing else.

 

Looking at the title of this topic i feel it's time to add "What's my password?"
to the most essential questions of live to make it 7.
Who am i?
Where do i come from?
Where am i going?
What's the meaning of live?
Where's the beer?
The question which answer is 42.

 

I have that problem too, not so much at home, but at work mostly. I do like most everyone esle does and just use a few passwords for everything to make it easy to remember (my short term memory is lacking), but at work it becomes even more difficult because i have 2 passwords to try and remember, which wouldnt be so bad if i didnt have to change them every few months!!

 

Never write your password down. For when you are to stupid to remember your password, you will also loos such password. And when you have it in a hidden map on your PC, you will forget in what map it was stored Chaneg your password in: ialwaysforgetmypassword

 

I have nearly the same password everywhere. I have two passwords, that have only a one-character difference...

And I always use the net in shared computers... too bad.

Don't loose your password, when you always use the same and someone finds out what your default PW is.... you have a big problem

 

Me, I use a repeating three letter word that I just vary from place to place. sometimes i add a few numvers to it.

 

I use the same password for everything, otherwise I do forget, but I certainly don't tell anyone or write it down; it's safe, and I have a great memory.

 

my password is something like ********* - well, thats what sorcerers tells me, i don't think its entirely right.

 

That must be hard to remember Septic. I mean it is long compared to mine. ******
