Just out of curiosity, how many of us have a reasonable idea of the number of logins we have? At a guess, I'd say I have over 200 simply because over the last year I have logged 150+ in 1Password. One good source, btw, is the monthly mail-list reminders. -- Owen On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 9:37

My spreadsheet is password protected. But you're right. One of the systems I use employs a Verisign token system. It would be useful to have something like that generally available to protect spreadsheets, files, etc. Joe On 12/5/13, 11:20 AM, Steve Smith wrote: 150, 240, 900 !?

Well, I have a 50k ascii file with all my passwords and security questions in it. It's ~800 lines long, but that doesn't mean 800 accounts, since some accounts require lots of security questions. Plus, I keep track of some old passwords after I change them and such. I keep this file encrypted

Interesting, but sounds pretty boring. Probably more useful for studying how our minds work than for as a practical tool for remembering passwords. My preference lately is the “password vault” solution of LastPass, 1Password, etc. I’d rather remember one really obscure phrase or made-up word

Agreed. And do you know one of the biggest problems? Phones! Yes, 1Password and others run on phones, but mainly for browser logins. Then cam apps. Browser's could't keep up with the demands of phone apps so the devs had to go to native apps, or more general PhoneGap type apps. Yes iP can

In my as yet brief use of LastPass, it is very good on my Mac (and probably equally good on Windows). I haven’t yet even tried it on my iPad or iPhone, but the problem there is that mobile Safari doesn’t support plugins, so the kinds of content rewriting that the plugins must do to work

I certainly do not want to rely on mnemonics, and I find it (almost) astonishing that people would devote time to developing a mnemonic method. I long ago came up with a simple two-step device to keep track of my 100's of passwords: It is called a spreadsheet. All you need to remember is the
