I can't be the only one

with so many passwords.

I have a list of at least 35 passwords for different sites, memberships, institutions. etc. Most of these have different IDs and usernames.
Many of them get updated every 60-90 days.
Is this a normal number of passwords to have? How many do you have?
How do you manage your list?

Re: I can’t be the only one

mosli khao dimag tez karro.

Another idea: Stap trying to act so important to have 35 passwords in the first place. Even I don’t have 35 passwords.

Re: I can’t be the only one

my mistake…I probably only have 34.
I definitely could not be as important as you.

Re: I can’t be the only one

Between my various email accounts, social networking sites, business/trade programs (MLS, DocuSign, the showing service), my childrens’ school portal (to check their grades, add money to school account etc) and online banking, I probably have close to 15 logins/passwords. The ones I don’t use daily and don’t have memorized I keep in the notes section of my phone.

It’s pretty annoying…it’s probably not a smart thing to do, but I try to keep my username the same across the board, and just change up the password a little. For the ones that I have to change up after 90 days, I definitely have to jot those down in my phone notes :bummer:

I have only three passwords. Who said that for every site, you need a unique password?

Re: I can’t be the only one

I have 2 passwords,one for all portals at work and one for my email ids and other online accounts.

But they’re both extremely strong and not easy to remember so its not much hassle and it works for me.

Re: I can’t be the only one

i only have one .. it’s password …easy to remember na

I can’t be the only one

I have soooo many it’s so annoying!!

Re: I can’t be the only one

DAMMIT.. I was trying partyslims backwards for soo long…

Re: I can’t be the only one

I have way too many passwords.
keeping track of them has been very annoying. I need to use a password mgmt app but then am concerned that will get hacked.

also annoying is my email situation. I need to clean out my email and have separate ones for separate things. otherwise important stuff gets buried in junk…I was going to do a full digital life cleanup over holidays but well..that did not happen

Re: I can’t be the only one

^ same here.
I need to sort things out.

Re: I can’t be the only one

come up with a unique username and use it on every site/blog etc. Make sure its very unique so its never ‘already taken’ on any website. Works for me.

For more important accounts like facebook, primary email etc you should use different id’s and passwords.

Re: I can’t be the only one

My digital footprint is extremely small. I have 9 locations where i have passwords including Steam and my work stuff.

Re: I can’t be the only one

Must be some hammam that you need password to enter there.

I have like 5 and I just switch between them. Also I can barely remember those so having more than 10 would be suicide.

Re: I can’t be the only one

I use 2 unique usernames (one of them I use here) and 3 passwords. If I need a strong password for an account then I join 2 of them. So in total I have 4 passwords. Either A or B or C or B+C and yes both B and C have uppercase, lowercase, special characters and digits.

Re: I can’t be the only one

I have about 5 accounts just on GS. Password is the same for all of them :stuck_out_tongue:

Have you guys not heard of password managers/organizers, some that even integrate with your browsers and “travel” with you from device to device? And they are FREE?

Except for my primary email account(s), i store pretty much everything else on one of these:

LastPass | Features
https://www.passwordbox.com
Family Password Manager | Dashlane
KPassC - Simple and Effective Credential Management
Descrizione
The Passguard - Mysecuritywin
PassBox : Free Password Manager & Generator for Windows 8 | 7
NS Wallet (great for Android devices)

i have only 3. this is a child damaged brain of a sleep deprived mother… 3 bhi bohat bara kaam hai.

Re: I can’t be the only one

35 passwords? How do you manage to remember them? I don’t think I even have 35 unique accounts.

Re: I can’t be the only one

I changed password of my laptop, came back after a trip and I don’t remember it, tried all passwords I use but not working. What shud I do?
