The Buckets by Greg Cravens for January 15, 2015

As an IT person, it irritates me to the core when someone tells me their password when I ask them to type it in. “Don’t worry. I trust you.” That’s the point: you’re not supposed to trust me or anyone else asking for it. You should even be a little suspicious of whatever webpage or dialog box that is asking for it. It’s doubly irritating when their password is something easy to crack like “buckets48”. Triple irritating if I find I can log into their Amazon account with the same password. My right eye gets a little twitchy at that point.

I have a notebook with my passwords (coded of course). There’s more than 200 of them. You can understand people getting tired of inventing and especially remembering those passwords.

A whole day? Good job. I have a ten minute retention span.

All of mine are similar with alpha or numeric differences. At work, the work related ones are written down. I’m too old to remember 200 different passwords that are each unique.

If it weren’t for KeePass, I would be lost these days.

I save all my passwords on Notepad.

Hee hee hee!

Gave up remembering. Now I have a tiny journal to record my passwords and account numbers. Not safe, but no choice.

LoLThat’s funny!!!

Nice to know I’m not the only one that has to write things down.
