    I think that most of us use some sort of cheat-sheet for our MANY passwords. It’s a bit taxing on the brain to try to memorize them all.

    One of the places I worked wanted employees to change passwords every six weeks or so. If you needed to access their computer, you’d find the info on a sticky-note on the underside of the mouse pad.

    Have a spreadsheet with all the ‘PW’ s since 1995. Sure is helpful! Password protected for sure.

    I have a “Cheat-Sheet”, but to avoid giving up all my passwords if someone gets ahold of it, I either write “clues” to what the password is, but that only have meaning to me, or, I make what look like actual passwords, but are actually shortened clues strung together. It has sometimes been a bit difficult to remember what clue I was going for, but I eventually figure it out…

    Yeah it’s a cheat sheet, but without the guilt.

    With his luck, he’ll hide the sheet and forget where it is.

    My cheat sheet is a little black box with a special flash drive inside. It’s a “password safe” and all of my pw’s are in there. I only have to remember the pw for the safe.

    Remember when phone numbers were given as, for example, MUrray Hill 7 – 4587?

    Tho’ I was a tiny lad, I remember my mother telling me what the old style number was, even though we’d officially gone over to all numbers. Nine characters all together, including the digit at the end. When more complex passwords are needed, an i can turn into a I or a ! or a 1, or a 0 into an O or an o.

    I remember the licence plate of my first car, too. 123-ABC-NY can get ALL kinds of upper/lower case variations as well as special characters!
