Hi there!
Can anyone please tell me on average how many different user names and passwords the average person has to invent in her lifetime and whether she will ever remember them all? I figure for security reasons having a variety in log in details for different online activities is best. But now it seems I've created a rod for my own back since I've had to start keeping a written ledger of various password/log in in details - I'm finding it increasingly difficult to keep 'em all in my head. If that were to ever fall into the hands of a ne'er-do-well, my privacy would be shot to kingdom come!
Of course Twitter, FB, private email accounts are easier to remember...along with my Cathe log in . But then there are, work emails, university and/or school intranet log ins, online banking log ins, library log ins, proof-of-membership passwords to websites belonging to professional bodies. To obtain online services, businesses require you to 'register and create a user-name and password': phone service providers, bookstores, educational/professional resources sites. There are even a couple of online international newspapers I read which require me to register before being able to even comment on or make a query about an article.
Of course, I realize maintaining online security is worthwhile. Anyone have an efficient way of remembering and/or organizing various log ins/passwords for such sites and services?
Thanks
