Too difficult to remember 100+ passwords for all the services and access rights I use in the business.   Works very well Sat, 14 Mar 2009 17:28:17 GMT webadmin@itbusinessedge.com http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/message/1193?tstart=0#1193 2009-03-14T17:28:17Z 8 months, 1 week ago http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/message/1186?tstart=0#1186 I write them down. How else can you remember something like 93tQR66z? I work in an office that's locked and alarmed when I'm gone, so I feel pretty safe. I am, however, very careful about never communicating password info via electronic means, e.g. Thu, 12 Mar 2009 23:46:42 GMT webadmin@itbusinessedge.com http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/message/1186?tstart=0#1186 2009-03-12T23:46:42Z 8 months, 1 week ago http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/message/1185?tstart=0#1185 I'd bet relatively few people actually write down passwords. What many of us do instead, I think, is to use the same few variations, many of which involve personal info (name, nickname, bday, etc). A friend of mine recently pointed out that many of the Thu, 12 Mar 2009 19:15:05 GMT webadmin@itbusinessedge.com http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/message/1185?tstart=0#1185 2009-03-12T19:15:05Z 8 months, 2 weeks ago http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/message/1184?tstart=0#1184 I don't write them down, either. Although, there are so many scraps of paper scattered around my desk with phone numbers and such on them that I probably could write them down and no one would know the difference.

If so, do you hide them in a place where no one can find them, or are they right next to your computer in open view? If you do not write down your passwords, do you memorize them or do something else with that Thu, 12 Mar 2009 16:58:27 GMT webadmin@itbusinessedge.com http://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/message/1182?tstart=0#1182 2009-03-12T16:58:27Z 8 months, 2 weeks ago 5
