Brain Farts Stink
Stuff I hate June 20th, 2008
I had a massive brain fart yesterday. I completely and totally forgot my blog password. In my defense, it’s the most awesome password in the history of complex, deadbolt, Fort Knox passwords.
It’s a beautiful thing, my password. Piece of art, actually.
It has a mixture of upper and lower case letters, numbers, special characters and at no point among the 13 characters exists any word in any language. It took me days to be able to enter it without thinking.
The problem with my password is that I only know the whole thing if I can get going on the first character. And that was my problem yesterday. I failed on take-off.
I couldn’t remember if the first letter was capitalized or not. Then I got all messed up on the following two because I wasn’t sure of the first. By the fifth character, I was way off the tracks and I knew it.
Come on, Kathy. You can do this.
Start over. Stop sweating. Think. But don’t over-think! Look at the keyboard. Don’t look at the keyboard! Find your center. Ooom, ooom.
It took me almost a minute to get it right. In password-remembering time, that’s an eternity. It bothered me a lot that I struggled. Why did I suddenly forget it after months of using it without a problem?
Maybe it means it’s time to change it to something like, oh I don’t know… password? What was I thinking using one so difficult at my age? Everyone knows the brain can only hold so much information. Critical stuff like word-for-word dialogue from every Brady Bunch episode, my high school locker combination, and the name of the girl in 4th grade who called me fat once.
That’s it. This brain’s full. I need a new one.

There must have been something in the air yesterday! I’ve just recently purchased a new cell phone (same service) & NONE of the standard rings are audible when the phone is in my “Mary Poppins” carpet bag thing I call a purse. Not wanting to waste my minutes, I decide to go online to shop for a new ring tone. Great. I couldn’t remember either my username OR password. So, I type in my cell # & then they want my “Billing Password!” Arrggh!
June 20th, 2008 at 11:20 am
It always bugs me in movies when someone is hacking into a computer and they guess the password on the first try. He’s an egomaniac? Password is God! His kid is missing? Kid’s name! Etc. Just once I’d like to see someone on a movie figure out g43j65g34j5h6.

I finally had to break down and put a lot of my less-used passwords in my Palm, in a database file that is, ironically, password protected. I picked something obscure to others but memorable to me and dumped the old brain pan in there. I can’t keep them all straight, especially ones concerning matters of national security like my Gardening Forum.

Now Kathy, you must admit to yourself that you need help. You must purchase a little bit of encrypted software that stores them all for you. I have had one for years. How else could I remember my gazillion passwords and software serials? Mind you, you will need to make several back-ups of it everywhere you can - just in case ;O)

I know exactly what you mean! It’s kind of like when you’re asked for a phone number that you’ve known since birth and suddenly *poof*! It’s gone! Erased from the memory bank! I literally have to pretend to dial the number on the keypad in order to recall it! Have you ever done that? And don’t try using the calculator keypad… the numbers are in an upside down order from the phone. (Obviously, I tried that too!) Have a good weekend!

Nice. I always use the same password for everything.
June 20th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
At my office, I have to log onto multipule servers and databases, all requiring ‘different’ passwords. I can’t remember them all, so I store them in a text file, and encrypt that file with a password. If I ever forget that password, I am doomed.

The whole password thing drives me crazy at work. There are at least 6 different things I need passwords for. I originally made them the same…..then IS decided we should change the password every month!!!! I got savy…changed it , then changed it back to my old one 5 minutes later!!!! Then they decided you couldn’t use the same password over the past 3 months….AHHHHHH. I now have 6 different passwords and am constantly mixing them up and having to call them to tell me what it is!!!!!!! I think they like seeing me squirm!!!

Mama O — You just cannot win. We are in Password Purgatory and we’re never getting out. p.s. I have one of those Mary Poppins bags, too. A tote, actually, with my Junk Drawer logo on it. It’s quite awesome, but stuff does fall to the bottom and I have a hard time pulling things out. But it’s worth it because, well, it’s awesome.
Memarie Lane — My list of technology-related movie annoyances is long. “24″ is at the top of my list of shows breaking all the rules of reality. Jack needs secret blueprints sent to his phone? Sure. Chloe breaks into a server in under a minute and Jack saves the day. Would never happen. Sorry.
Shieldmaiden96 — “the old brain pan” Love that! My problem is I almost never write them down. If a service emails me my information I can’t find it easily because I don’t know my account name or where it came from. We’re screwed.
Babs beetle — I do need help, but having another device besides my brain to remember passwords won’t cut it. If I rely too heavily on a device that can get lost, I’m a goner. Why can’t my brain do the job?!
darla — That happened with my home phone number recently. When asked for it, I totally blanked. The person on the other end was like “Hello? Hello?” I’m like “I’m thinking.” Very embarrassing. Yes, I sometimes “air type” to try and kick start the noggin. Sad, but good to know it happens to others.
Regan — The problem with that is if someone gets your universal password, you’re in trouble. Change it at least every six months, my dear.
KFJ — Changing every month must be brutal. Ours is every six, which people still complain about. And you can’t reuse an old one EVER, which makes them even madder. Trust me, your IT department isn’t tormenting you. They have to change their own, too, and hate it just the same.

I keep things low-tech by hanging a list of all my passwords by my computer. Dave pointed out that if someone broke into our home, they’d have access to all my private information. I in turn pointed out that if someone broke into our home, we’d have bigger fish to fry.

Bruce (sorry you got stuck in the spam tank) — I’m starting to rethink this. That sounds like what I probably need, but I want access to the file from everywhere. Where do you store your encrypted file?
Jeff — If it’s got your seal of approval, I’m checking it out!
Babs beetle — My God, woman. You have GOT to be kidding. Please, please tell me you’re joking. That’s terrifying.
JD at I Do Things — Ha! You’re right! You probably have nothing to worry about. You just got a new attack cat, didn’t you? She bites, no?
June 20th, 2008 at 2:53 pm
No it’s not a joke! I have been computing for 20 years. You get a lot of accounts in that time ha ha! The software Jeff suggests is basically what I use (for Mac) I couldn’t do without it.

Oh Kathy ! That’s not too bad. There are ways to reset and recover the password.
One day I go to the grocery store at the busiest hour of the day. I bring my cart-full to the checkout and decide to pay with debit. I didn’t have cash in my wallet and I keep my credit card at home (it’s only to be used for online shopping - strict rule !).
I swipe the card, and enter the pin. PIN ERROR - RETRY. So I try once again. PIN ERROR - RETRY.
By now there is a long line behind me and I am tearing my hair and cursing what could be wrong.
The cashier was getting annoyed as well and asked if I had a credit card or cash. I asked to try one more time, feeling the anger of the mob behind me. PIN ERROR - RETRY.
I had no choice but leave my groceries there and leave empty handed.
I immediately go to the bank machine. I Put in the card and suddenly realized - that I was entering the correct numbers except for the last digit ! DOH !
The was a relief. I took out the cash, went back to the store, re-filled another card and made sure to go to a different cashier and pay in cash ! Whew !
June 20th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
So, keeping them on post-its, lined up and down the edge of my monitor is not a good thing?
June 20th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
Funny post! I have a pass word that was issued to me that is random letters some caps some not and I promise if I type it without looking at the password on paper I am always wrong. I just know I type it correctly even when I am not looking - oh well…
June 20th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
I do that too!:) Passwords that I use everyday will escape my mind, and normally it takes a day or so to remember them.

June 20th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
I feel your pain. About a month ago I was asked by a bank teller for my social security number (which I’ve had for a thousand years, at least). I completely blanked. There was nothing but dead air between my ears as I searched for a clue that would help me in the direction of remembering it. Nothing came. Thank goodness, the teller was able to access the number on her computer.
I have a renewed empathy for Alzheimer’s patients after that experience.

Store it on a web server that I pay for (hosts part of my blog at GoDaddy, or just put them in a document on google docs and don’t reference what the individual passwords are actually for (although I think they let you password protect the google docs as well)…the possibilities are endless as are the complexities.

June 20th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Babs beetle — That’s incredible. And you’re terribly organized. Me, not so much.
Jaffer — You have just described my worst shopping nightmare. I check that I have my card and rehearse my PIN number before stepping up to the checkout. You’re lucky nobody beat you up.
BabaBooey — Generally not. Neither is keeping them written on a slip of paper you keep in your wallet, labeled My Secret Passwords.
Toni — I hate passwords that are issued to me. I think I do better not looking at the computer at all. Give myself a chance to clear my head, then take a running start at it. Bizarre how that works.
Jessica — It shocked me that suddenly I couldn’t remember it at all. And I can’t count how many times I’ve had to run “Reset Password” on some website because there was no way I would get it on my own.
FerdC — Can you tell Igor I want a really smart one this time? And one that can hold more stuff? Thanks. You’re a pal.
Carla at WordPlay — That’s another thing I only seem to be able to recite if I get the first 3 numbers out. If I don’t get those, I can’t remember any more. My heart goes out to Alzheimer’s sufferers, too. It’s a horror I can’t imagine.
brooke — I tend to do that, too. Change the last or first character every time I have to change my work password.
Valerie — Precisely! We really only memorize the pattern. So if you start off wrong with that, no dice. I remember freaking out when our area went to 10-digit phone numbers. I thought I’d never remember my area code.
BidNerd — I like sites that tell you how strong your password is as you’re creating it. It’s genius, but potentially hazardous if you forget it. I’ll check out Passpack. Yeah, if I was an EMT and needed a password to save someone’s life, they’d be flat-lining all over the place.
Jaffer — There goes that idea.
Bruce — That’s a great idea. I really need to access an encrypted file from anywhere on the web.
Ryan Hupfer — Welcome and glad you found your way to The Junk Drawer. I’ll pop you a note soon.
Margaret — Honestly? It’s almost as bad as that. It looks very ugly and I’m convinced if I told someone what it was out loud, they still wouldn’t stand a chance with it.
June 20th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Kathy:
Don’t fret. It happens to all of us. When you get older you’ll forget a lot more than your pass word. But there’s an upside. Just think of all the videos you’ll be able to watch over and over again.
Happy trails.

Okay, I see many of your commentors and saying it’s okay. Let me just say … Um… c’mon! That’s just crazy talk…forgetting your password.
Now, it’s time to purge some stuff from your brain, you got too much going on up there. It’s just like defraging the computer. Time to dump the temp files or something. Maybe you’re storing too many large jpeg files, those photos take up a lot of memory.

I so relate to your memory lapse! Same thing happened to me, only at the ATM. There I stood, completely befuddled at forgetting my PIN. I mean, completely blanking out. And yes, several people waited behind me. After 3 starts and stops, I slunk away embarrassed and empty-handed, looking like I had no money to withdraw. Drove home and remembered it the second I put my key in the door.

Chris Casey — Now what’d you go and tell me about your fabulous dinner for? No fair. I had choc-chip cookie dough ice cream from The Cup (Linden St)last night, and there were unidentifiable things in there that were neither chips nor cookie dough. Had to throw it out!
Catherine — I’m with ya on that. Thank God for IMDB.com, where I can at least look up an actor I do know from a movie and then pair it up with the actor whose name I forgot. God bless the internet.
Deb — Yep. Exactly why I need to access a password file from a remote location. If I can remember the password for that remote location.
DrowseyMonkey — But I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake and delete an entire folder, like Program Files and then I won’t remember how to tie my shoes, eat or drive a car. And then I’ll be tripping, starving and sailing off cliffs.
Vivienne — Oh, how frustrating and embarrassing. Only a matter of time before it happens to me.

Rattln Along’s last blog post..Death and Dying
June 21st, 2008 at 11:44 am
This reminded me of a password issue I had a few years ago. I was using some random website that had a log in and had forgotten my password, so had them email me a replacement password. To this day, I cannot recall my original password, my log in for the site, or even the website I was trying to access. But I’ll never forget the password they sent me: Diamondcouch39.
….The oddest password I’ve ever seen. I laughed and used it for awhile, of course now I don’t but it still cracks me up to think about it. My guess is they send other people’s logins for you to use as a password there, maybe? I dunno. I still giggle over it though. =P

I hate when that happens…and believe me, it happens. And then you have to search through your post-its or scribblings or old e-mails to find what the actual word was. And usually when you find out, you’re like “OMG, that was so easy. Why did I forget it?” Maybe the ultimate password is actually the word “forget.” Because how can you forget “forget”?

I do that all the time, but I have so many passwords to keep track of it’s a wonder I can ever access a password protected site or application the second time.
I have one word for you KeePass Password Safe. OK, so it’s more than one word. Anyway, it is a portable application that you can install on a thumb drive and take with you where ever you go. You can find it at this site which also has other portable applications.
Start using KeePass and you don’t have to worry so much about memory lapses as long as you keep the thumb drive on a string around your neck. The string will prevent forgetting where you put the thumb drive.

Wow ! there are so many websites and software for storing passwords !
I personally use only two passwords for almost all my activities on the internet. But then there is that occasional website that insists on giving you a password that you cannot change and others that insist that you use all types of characters on your keyboard.
KeePass looks like a good idea as well. I’ll install it on my cellpone (Sony Ericsson W810i) also doubles as a storage drive - so I know I’ll never loose it !
I think putting it on the iPod would also be a good idea.
Thanks Lee !

I’m going to look into a password vault type service. I’ve had the same thing happen to me, with an online investment place. I had to wait for their office to open and phone them, and then they snail mailed me a pin number to use online with my user name. What a pain in the a$$!
But it has to be online, so I can get into it without my home computer.

Jaffer — And what does that tell us? That it’s insane to keep changing passwords for the 101 services we need them for. Yeah, yeah, security. But geez! Good idea for iPod storage. Those are practically appendages for some people. Would come in handy for them.
Tim E. — Good grief. Use the phone to get your password?! What’s a phone? Brutal. My investment site is like that, too. I wind up calling them because I can’t get logged in. Such a drag.

With all the tools social media has to offer: Digg, Stumbleupon, FB, Twitter, mybloglog, etc. It’s a lot of usernames and passwords to keep up with especially if the username you had in mind is already taken.
I’m guilty of forgetting my password when trying to regain access to some of my accounts. It’s mostly b/c I’m so tired of all of it that I simply need to sleep or take a nap.
