Ricardo Bueno — I predict it will only get worse. Yes, having to use a different ID than you planned is part of the problem. I try to be consistent, but sometimes you can’t help it. Get some zzzzz’s!

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.

tfa — You know, I just might trust you, you’ve been with me so long. Do you want my ATM PIN number too?

Moonshadow — The sad thing is you have to know there are people out there with that as a password. For the places that require at least one number, then it’s “password1.”

Your list of comments are going to crash the server if they get much longer.

I just wanted to tell you that right before I read this post my grandson popped into my (home) office and said, “Know what a dumb password is? ……PASSWORD!” And popped back out to play his online computer game in the other room. I had to call him back in to show him your post. I swear he’s clairvoyant.

Libertine — I use Firefox as well, but that day my saved account information wasn’t there and I freaked. Then blanked. Then cursed.

I hate passwords. I just try to stay logged into my blogs all the time. And Firefox has a nice feature where they remember your password for you. Libertine's last blog post..George Carlin, 1937-2008

Lee — Thanks for that excellent suggestion. But, yeah, I might have some issues forgetting where I put it. I’m a woman with many problems in that area.

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.

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. Tim E.'s last blog post..Playstation Game Cheats for Tomb Raider Anniversary

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 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.

Babs beetle — Aw, thanks. You’re such a sweetheart. Dropped a comment.

robert bourne — I did my “rehearsing my PIN” thing yesterday at the store. Too much pressure!

Peggy — I like your no-nonsense attitude!

Henson Ray — I have tons of passwords I emailed myself, but the problem there is I can never find them because I don’t know whether to look for me as the sender, or for the service I got it for. And even then, I don’t know what to search for. ARGH!

mizmell — I wish I could just shake my head and old, useless information would fall out. Seriously, who needs to know all the lyrics to Copacabana?

I've always thought the brain to be a hard drive of sorts. New information squished in with old information and storage capacity are major issues. Maybe you just need to defrag... mizmell's last blog post..If The Shoe Fits
