My blog got hacked awhile back because the password was too easy to figure out. I don't want the same thing happening to yours.<BR/><BR/>Protege: With all the things we need passwords for, writing them down is becoming a necessity. I just wish the world was a safer place where we didn't need such things.<BR/><BR/>Oren: Be careful about that. Like I mentioned in my comment to Fancypants, once someone figures out one password, they can really cause trouble.<BR/><BR/>Hilary: Good analogy! If I may go one more step with it, they are like keys we stow away in a drawer, then toss out the furniture and forget the key was in there.<BR/><BR/>laughingwolf: With the way things are going, I probably forget which pad I wrote the invisible ink on.Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-73496870049544333392009-02-24T18:37:00.000-05:002009-02-24T18:37:00.000-05:00ever hear of keeping all that crap in a pad, writt...ever hear of keeping all that crap in a pad, written in invisible ink? :O lol<BR/><BR/>of course, the blacklight bulb would be a dead giveaway ;)laughingwolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873675614347328116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-1526126787097858992009-02-24T17:24:00.000-05:002009-02-24T17:24:00.000-05:00Passwords are the text version of lot keys.. or wo...Passwords are the text version of lot keys.. or worse.. key chains full of keys whose use we no longer remember.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-16316117017607053942009-02-24T15:20:00.000-05:002009-02-24T15:20:00.000-05:00I try to keep the passwords as close to the same a...I try to keep the passwords as close to the same as possible.

I do understand your annoyance with passwords.. way too many things to have passwords these days.. at least you make the effort to create unique passwords for everything..I usually use the same one for multiple things which is bad I agree because if for any reason anyone finds out my password for one thing..well..just bad. <BR/><BR/>This was such a great diversion from work at the moment. ha.FancyPants-designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07480194617370535080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-63922549049108007572009-02-24T11:38:00.000-05:002009-02-24T11:38:00.000-05:00Jinksy: Fiendish secret codes?

I'm afraid I'll lose it somewhere.<BR/><BR/>Natalie: If you say the laugh is sympathetic, I'll believe you. But the finger pointing and snickers have me doubtful. lol! The weird thing is that I am really good at remembering passwords. Most I don't have to write down.<BR/><BR/>Angie: I sometimes write them down but not often enough. A bad habit I need to break out of. I keep the ones I do have in my safe, but it's such a hassle to open and close it for the passwords, especially if I forget where I hid the safe key.<BR/><BR/>Buckskins Rule: I feel for you about the card-eating atm. I had one malfunction on me and ate my card and the $30 dollars I tried to take out. Since I had no proof I had tried to take out the money, not only did I have to pay the $10 for a new card, but I also was out the $30.Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-69986241101363931502009-02-24T11:16:00.000-05:002009-02-24T11:16:00.000-05:00Sorry, Michelle, I laughed at the last one...but i...Sorry, Michelle, I laughed at the last one...but it was the laugh that is only enjoyed by someone who has "been there, done that". <BR/><BR/>Only I took the forgotten PIN one step further. Convinced that I could remember it, I kept entering different number combinations. I learned, too late, that the third failed attempt yields the result of the ATM machine assuming ownership of the card, never for to be seen again. Not only no PIN, but now, no card, no cash, and most importantly, no lunch that day.<BR/><BR/>I find that it isn't so much the forgotten passwords that is the problem, but the fact that I either can't remember the answer to the "secret" question, or which e-mail address I used when I signed up.Dave (aka Buckskins Rule)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07764864394651709866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9169129998329537448.post-80366422433136536252009-02-24T11:13:00.000-05:002009-02-24T11:13:00.000-05:00I only have a few secret numbers, so not too many ...I only have a few secret numbers, so not too many problems so far...but hear ya on the general forgetting of important things.<BR/><BR/>Um.....don't you write them down somewhere, or did ya hide that from yourself? :) Hugs for your bad day.
