funny it ain’t
wait ’til you’re 70+ like my wife or even better 80+ like me
the worst is when you write ’em down on a piece of paper and can’t remember where you put it – or if you threw it out
I’m lazy; that’s why I have a 3.5 x 8 blue notebook that ALL user IDs, passwords, business phone numbers, and addresses are in. It came in handy when I was in the ICU and the youngin had to keep the household on the tracks. My sister’s Rolex was quite handy in settling her estate.
You would be dumbfounded if you knew the percentage of not only individuals, but IT “professionals” as well, who never change username and password from Admin, Admin.
They might as well grease up their digital assholes and yell out “come get some”.
Saw this as meme somewhere recently and stole it, can’t remember(how apropos) where, so no attribution, for which I apologize.

As it so happens, yesterday I tried to log in to my email account, not having logged in there in like a month. The password I had WRITTEN DOWN, of course, didn’t work. Luckily, I didn’t have to go through the HELL described above.

Like my shopping list. Can never figure out what half of it says.

RecZone Password Safe…..sold on Amazon
Because my memory sucks at 78
A small note book is far secure than anything you can order from amazone or microshit or apelle.
Offline, no wifi, standalone unit, PIN access.
Small notebooks are not password protected.
