I forgot?

There was a time when all you had to remember is your birthday, address and phone number.

Then you had to remember your room number and your locker combination lock number.

Next come your social security number and your driver license number and your girlfriend’s phone number and your clothing size.

Then it is your work phone number and your employment number and your voter number and your kid’s birthdays…

How do you keep track of your bank account password, your debit pin number, all your email passwords, all your social media logins, etc.

Every time you get confused and use the wrong password, it must be changed to a new password with a security code. The next time you log in will you remember the new password?

As a backup you could record them on your phone that might seem safe until it is hacked. You could write them down on the back of an envelope or in a day planner but then you lose the page or forget to write down the latest change.

Some will save your login and password, but then why have a password? If you forget the password to your iPad or Laptop, what are you going to do but get on the phone (if you remember that password) and call the help desk who will send you an email with a new password….but
