Hi Rose,
May I make a suggestion? I created a spreadsheet with the following:
Column 1 is the name for which the password is attached to.
Column 2 is my user name.
Column 3 is my password.
Column 4 is the account number for sites with it.
Column 5 is optional which I use for other pertinent information.
I then copy the spreadsheet to a flash disk which
I keep handy if I don't remember a particular
user name or password. Believe me, I have a
bunch! Once the saved password spreadsheet is
copied, then you removed permanently the original from your computer.
Don't forget to update your spreadsheet on the
flash disk every time you add or change a
password. This may sound tedious, but I have been
saved many times over with this method. Others
may suggest a simpler way to remember password.

Nothing upsets me more on my computer than when cookies get deleted or
turned off. Just went through an experience today for a site where I could
not remember the password, tried several times and finally used my husband's
account to make the purchase since he remembered his. I and sometimes my
husband use this computer, but when he does it is usually fixing something
for me and I hate passwords, half the time I can't remember what I used for
where or why. I know they are a necessary evil but I don't like them
anyway.
Some mornings at work I go crazy trying to remember which system has which
password.
If I have any written anywhere they are in braille but usually my braille
note or paper is nowhere near when I need one.
I only wish I could create a better way to be secure than changing
passwords, letter number jumbles I will never remember and having to have
different ones for different places with different criteria for each.
Now that I got that out of my physical/mental system I won't say any more on
the subject.

Nice, but if you don't have cookies turned on this means nothing.
