How many usernames and pw's do you have?

Life in 2008 = having a kazillion passwords for various things. After retrieving yet another forgotten (and unrecorded) password for something, I paused to think how many I might have. Easily 15-20.

Yes, and to keep track of them all is a nightmare.

Not sure.

I know that all my Forum Usernames & passwords are usually the same.

Things like online banking, online purchasing, ebay etc..... are all different.

So maybe something like 20-30.

Two solutions to this, a little black book or (as I do) a zipped/passworded notepad file which lists them all.

I keep mine (when I remember to copy them from the scraps of paper that I usually write them on when registering) on a relatively old pocket pc which came with its own little app called CodeWallet, which itself is protected by ... a password :rotfl: :rotfl:

LOL, tell me about it. I've forgotten the password for my passwords before.
