I have up to four different passwords just at work for various tasks. I have login ID's and passwords for about a dozen forum groups. I have a password and ID for my 401K. I have a password for my e-mail account. . .times three. I race online. Guess what, the server has a password. We use teamspeak to communicate, yep, another password. Then, just for fun, every thirty days, my main password at work has to change. I used to just bounce between two different passwords. Each of them were four diget numbers. Hmm... That is too easy. New rules at work say that you can not use your previous password and now your password must contain letters and numbers.
Now, I do try and make this easier. Against advise I have read online, I tend to use the same one or two passwords for most of my online activity. The other day I wanted to check some things on my 401K and I couldn't remember my user ID. Tried a few times, then it locked me out. Ok, well, send me my info in an e-mail. Problem is I moved recently and the e-mail they have is still the old one. Now I had to call and actually have human contact to solve this.
Other problems I have run into is that my user ID, normaly a variation of Duck Hunter, is not always available.
We have become so secure now days, that we are even protected from getting into our own accounts! Well. I started a .txt file after I had to make that phone call yesterday. At least I'll try and log the lesser used ID/passwords.
So why do I say these are coming out of my ears? Is there a way to contain the spillage? Eww.
More on that problem later.
