I have a password that I call 'standard' (that is random letters and numbers) and when I save a website that requires a password I name its bookmark with something like 'standard + <other characters, and/or +cap>. All I have to do is look at the name of the bookmark and I know what password I gave it. I have hundreds of places with passwords, and this is the only way I can remember them. I don't store passwords on post-it notes, but my system has been working beautifully for me for many years. But having said that, I have constant problems with places that cancel my password so I can't log in. The most recent annoyance was Facebook, which offered to text a code to my phone. Only problem is, I don't have a phone that can take texts. I have failed to find a solution, so I remain locked out of my Facebook account. No problem. I've always hated Facebook anyway. For me the problem is not passwords, nor do I need a password manager. The problem is two-step authentication with systems that the user cannot choose. It's Facebook's loss - I have far more money and purchasing power than any of the kids with their text-capable phones. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
