The problem would be that I have certain sites that require me to change my password frequently and include special characters too.  Plus if anyone ever electronically "cracked the code" on your system.. uh oh.  I have all my passwords saved, but they are saved in an encrypted code in a external hard drive not connected to the the internet so it can't be hacked.

Fernando,

I like it. Simple, easy to use, and to the point.

Not a bad idea, but I have two comments:

1. Apparently there's some Wordpress issue right now and the brute enforcer bots (I'm sure I've gotten the name wrong) are programed to decode words. So, using 1helloth (or something like that) may not be a good thing anymore.
2. I got 1Password. I remembers all your passwords for you, and so far it has been working well.

My simple way is to keep a journal, address/phone book or a notebook and write each one down and keep them locked in a drawer at home or keep a reminder page on your laptop and on your IPad. I know someone who puts their passwords in their phone as contacts, now they just can't lose their phone. I believe the old way is the best way, write them down in pencil and you can erase and change them every so often. My dad told me once I get an address book , write everything in pencil because people move and their phone numbers change.

Fernando, this is a great way to do it! I find that some of the sites that I don't go to alot, I have to keep guessing my passwords, or have them send me an email with them.

Fernando:  I have a friend... a nice blonde lady... who told me that she just changed her password.  She then told me her new password was "DopeyGrumpyHappySleepySneezyDocBashfulWashington."

I asked her why she picked that as a password, and she said she was told her password should have at least seven "characters" and one "capital" in it.  As far as she was concerned... she said she was Good To Go!

Fernando thanks for sharing and I'll make my life a lot easier

I bet someone did try to login as you. Haha. It is good to have a password format. There are also free application out there that let's you keep all login and password in a vault that you can just copy and paste when you need them.

Well aren't you the clever one! I love it! And whatever your middle thing is, be it your first grade teacher, best friend, mother's maiden name, favorite game, noone else would know. Great idea!

Interesting system. I was recently with a client. She carried around a little black book. Inside, she had all of her account information with passwords for internet access. I warned her it wasn't safe to have all the info in one location in a book that she carried around. She's a little old school--no computer or smart phone. Since she literally has millions in her accounts, it is risky business.

The Southeast Florida Board requires us to change the password every six months. That want causes me problems in that I am constantly changing password, and running out of combinations. They have even set the server up to check and make sure you not used an old password so not recycling!

Fernando, Really Nice idea  from someone who is selling Really Nice Homes. 

However, this can be challenging task for some subscription sites where they expect us to change the password frequently.

I go crazy trying to remember all my passwords. Sometimes I just give up.

Fernando, I need a better method...thanks

Ahhhh this is a unique & great idea... thanks!

Password retention is such a frustrating and sometimes infuriating thing....this is so simple!!  Thanks for the idea!

Hola!

How are you? I'm glad to hear you have a system that works. I have trouble remembering my passwords if I don't use them on a regular basis.

I just read Karen Stone's reply to you and I'm laughing like crazy!!!

Have a great day :)

UMM I have been trying your bank all night, tell me that example again LOL. Mine is complicated but a formula as well, they are easy that way

What an awesome system. I'm glad you shared this information with us again. I missed it the first time around.
