passwords

[rani]

i used my son's laptop this morning and tried to access the filipino uk website but couldn't sign in to reply on any posts coz i cant remember my password and even the user name i am using here... now, i am on my laptop and i can only access the site because my datas are stored here..

so folks, since there are lots of sites, email ads and passwords to remember, how do you keep everything in mind???

I usually use same passwords and email ads depending on which sites I access the most..plus, i put it in notepads in pc and my phone...

think of something you use all the time numbers and letters a everyday thing that way you should never forget

I do something you are not supposed to do..I write them down, I only use my credit cards online because I can never remember my pin in shops. Its getting worse as well, everything seems to require passwords and pin numbers.

It's Welsh ... and is the looooooooongest placename in the world; it means "the Church of St Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St Tysilio's of the red cave".

So there you are folks ... you learn something NEW every day!

... mind you, I'VE never even BEEN to Wales, and only discovered this particular 'pearl of wisdom' by clicking on the link kindly provided by Keith.

Yep, that's right. Bunch of sheep here. I find them cool though because we don't have them in Phils. They're very shy too. I also think it's because of how their words are spelled. Crazy.

About the password, I have 2. It depends on the site I'm registering at. Using Roboform is good as well when filling up forms in one click and at the same time, you can log in without typing your username and password again.
