With email, instant messenger, forum, credit card, brokerage account, newsletter, webserver, and shell accounts come a slew of passwords to remember. How do you store yours?

I currently use a local program with no connection to the internet to store them.

(I would have put this in Technology, but some people choose to write their passwords on pad and pen! Smile

)

In my head. That's the only safe place.

I have only one password for all the things you just mentioned there. OOh if they'll find it your history man Laughing

i guess thats what most of you think about it like that. Actually a couple of my friends know what my password is and they havent done anything...

I should probably do the same. I managed to lock myself out of Skype the other day because after /dev/urandom tries I couldn't remember Sad

My password for different services is usually associated with the what the password is for. So, i can easily figure out what pass is for what service. It is like embedding the pass in account i use.

Hey guys, try figuring out my pass of forums.phoenix-hosting.org. Wink

In my head. I only have 6 passwords really, anything else is just a variation of them...I have significantly more trouble remembering usernames, I really hate it when a website says username and it's looking for your email address not some non-existent user my brain says exists Sad

Well, i also use like 2 passwords, but i use them like for 8 years Very Happy

So it's hard sometimes to forget them, also when i sign up on new pages i try to change just the 2 ultimates digit, so i can even forget it!

The mind is the best place for private information like this. =D

Same here. Not even 1 password is the same from site to site. Outside of that, it's all in my head.

i commit all of them to memory(thats for banking and everything). except root passwords on remote servers which i store in a notepad doc(they are long and very complex). No one really has much to gain from my servers so it doesn't matter. I avoid using the same password for banking stuff.
