password woes

[tielan]

I have managed to lock myself out of the system four times in the last week.

Passwords are a PITA. Also, needing half a dozen of them at any given time and remmebering exactly which one is currently in use. ARGH.

I hear you on passwords. I have so many different systems that I need to remember all the passwords for.

I've started using a password keeper for my personal computer which has been helping.

Password keepers are amazing, and I use them for my personal stuff. So many freaking passwords, I swear!

Work is a more difficult proposition, because they change anywhere between monthly to every three months to every I-can't-even-keep-track-of-how-often-anymore. And there's the security angle to consider.

I do find with work it's not so bad once my fingers have the rhythm of entering the password in. It's just getting that rhythm for the first few days that throws me off. And the system has been having connection issues lately. I think they installed a new security patch about a week ago and it's been giving them trouble ever since.

Hundreds of passwords. Thousands of passwords. Millions and billions and trillions of passwords...
