Between computer, atm, banking online, e bay etc.

How many passwords do you have ?

I have taken the time to try a limit or use the same same for other password requirement.

I have been able to limit my passwords down to a total of 6

TO DARN MANY I have a total of 26 between work and home life I need 20 of them for work and it is a pain in the butt to try to remember all of them...plus every 6 weeks I have to change some of them...
need-less to say I write most of them down and keep them in a book even though I am not suppossed too...

I have basically 1. Literally, 3....but they are all a combination of the same word/numbers. If I forget, I just do the words/numbers in a different order until Im right.

I basically have two for online stuff. Some sites still don't allow special characters (because they apparently aren't fans of people having strong passwords) so anytime I can't use the password which contains characters like that I have to revert to another one.

What's funny is the place where I should have the strongest password of all (my bank), doesn't allow for special characters in passwords. Those of you who bank through Chase can feel my pain.


Anything that requires a pin (ATM, etc.) is all the same number.

I have one or two, but I use pwdhash (www.pwdhash.com). It hashes the password against the domain name and creates a safe, unique password for each site. E.g., if your main password were "Belly35," your FreeHuddle password (entered automatically on Firefox) would be "tV0pA0jum". Your google password would be "BHPEId8DT" Every site has its own crazy password, but you only hvae to remember one. Then, if any unsecure site is ever hacked, you don't have to worry about losing all your info.
