pssst ... whats the password?

[saphireseas]

I have too many passwords. My whole life is controlled by some password or some sort. And I can't remember them when I need and I can't keep them straight. I have spent several minutes trying to enter my UCI password into yahoo and being very frustrated until I realized that I was entering the wrong password in the wrong place. I have also spent several minutes at the ATM trying different combos of numbers for my pin. Its really just sad. Although I know I am not the only one to have this problem. There are several programs that have been written to remember passwords. My dad has one such program but the problem is sometimes he can't even remember the password to the password-keeper program. I wonder when it changed so that we have to be so secure about everything.I think passwords are good things, don't get me wrong. Its just the user error factor that gets annoying. Most technology problems are user errors. I suppose that no matter how advanced we get we will always have the user error factor and we will never be able to change our humanitity (try as we might). I've never thought that machines will take over for humans because machines require some human mantainance/use and at some point the human will forget the machine's password. so maybe its not passwords but the remembering of them that controls all. and don't look at me like I am crazy, I know I'm not the only one holding up the ATM line trying to remember that stupid pin number. And if you are wondering about why I am thinking about passwords, I spent awhile arguing with the wells fargo site this morning and I lost. I'll remember ... eventually.

You know what sucks? I don't have spring break for 2 weeks and no one has spring break at the same time as I do. What I am supposed to do by myself? BOO!
