atw: Re: Storing logins and passwords

A note in Outlook contains all the complicated logins and passwords I
have no control over. Obviously the banking logins I have committed to
memory although those with power of attorney (and know me very well)
have access to that information once they understand my logic - leading
to a pattern which can be deciphered easily. The passwords are only
obvious to my closest friend and immediate family. Which is useful if I
am killed or incapacitated in an accident and those who need to can then
take over my affairs without mucking around...
 
I use a combination of four passwords and three generic log in names for
every general log in and password I can make on my own. There is a
consistent pattern I apply to the login name and the passwords according
to the categorical type of login required - work, sport and rec or
purchasing. So the end result is that I don't often get locked out of a
site because I forgot my passwords and logins. 
 
The reasoning is that I never remember the damn things and recalling
this stuff is tedium I can do without. If there are only four passwords
and logins are three, then applying my categorical rules (reducing
generally to two possible combinations) and trying each - one at a time
- always works.
 
Obviously, some schmuck may break in and track my bits and pieces, but
in any case, if they were tracking keystrokes, then they can get all
your passwords anyway. In which case, just like a woman, I can change
the rules! ... I won't go there any further ;-)
 
And with that typical facile Australian humour I shall sign off with
"HAPPY AUSTRALIA DAY" - wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
 
(Warm) Regards,

Warren
