passwords

Ok maybe I am getting old or I just don't give a shit anymore but I seriously can't remember passwords. I am afraid to log out of anything for fear of never getting back in. I have to reset everything, if I don't visit it once a day the password jumps out of my head and into the recycling bin. Super frustrating. I will have to do more brain puzzles

Getting old sucks, but if your having memory problems, tell your doctor. Coffee soon?

I've used a variation of the same password for quite a while for everything, transposing letters and numbers based on the phone dial, and transposing numbers with their symbols. Unfortunately, I've got a new program at work that makes me change my password every few months, and won't let me use near-variations. Had to come up with a completely new password, which I then started using on other programs to keep it in my head.

It's a little risky, but creating one password with four or five variations can help.
