Does anyone know how I can keep track of all my passwords please. I have passwords for all the accounts and places I like to visit, but I keep forgetting them. I do write them down on a piece of paper then I forget where I put the paper, sometimes my user name is on the paper to and I forget that. Can someone give me an idea what to do. I am 51 now and I'm forgetful, does anyone in the group have the same problem if so what do you do to remmber things you miss place

My husband and I keep a small wire-bound notebook with all of the passwords we get in it. I also choose passwords I know I'll remember, but remembering which password to remember can get major confusing. That's why we finally got the book. It's cheap and we can keep it updated. We take it with us when we're out of the house - or hide it somewhere.

Why don't you try useing the same user name and password for everything. But you would have to change your password every now and then. Or try keeping one note book with all your accounts and passwords in it.

Following the advice of only two passwords is good. But in addition, if memory is still failing you or for security you want to keep more than two passwords...
You could store them in a text file on your computer. Then they are always there when you need them, and where you need them.

Come up with a least two passwords. One for accounts that does not matter Like Yahoo answers, newspaper,, stuff like that. and at least one for other accounts like Banks and money related.
Stick with those passwords and it should be easier to remember.

don't know if this is advisable but here's what i did:
i wrote my accounts on microsoft word with their corresponding passwords, then attached it to an email message then i sent it to myself. there's no way i could lose it unless i delete it. oh, and i always mark it as unread, just so it catches my attention everytime i open. I never forgot where my passwords were anymore. ciao!

Put it in your diary, or make the same password for all your accounts. That way, you don't have to think too much of it.

Try using a phrase instead of a word. They are easier to remember. Something like "Overthehillsandfaraway" all run together as one "word".

Try writing them down and keeping them somewhere safe like your wallet.
