Re: Any IT people with a lot of passwords?

wow, bill, that’s very complicated. I’m interested to know your recommendations for those of us with more simple password situations.

munchkin, our online bank uses questions as hints for secondary passwords. Do you think I can remember my husband’s maternal grandmother’s name (when I need to log into his account – now that I know it, there is a popular song that has that name so I sing it) or the maid-of-honour at my wedding (we had a civil ceremony, but I had to fill something in to answer the question). And if it’s a person’s name, did you spell it with a capital letter like Peter or peter or did you use an abbreviated Pete or pete? Get it wrong three times and you’re locked out for 24 hours.

I’m thinking about getting a tattoo (and I’m not a tattoo person) but as bill points out, often we are forced to change our passwords, and aside from that, I’m worried about someone dragging me up to an ATM and reading my butt tattoo (ok, not really, just added that for a laugh)

LOL about the falling space junk! But it’s valid, what if you get hit by a truck on the way to work. That’s always what I think of when I take myself and my work too seriously – it’s not a good thing to be the only person who can do something or has sensitive data or knowledge that’s key to operating a business or anything, really.
