I now have so many passwords that I have a list. You would think it would be simple, use the same one. Many years ago, when using the computer was starting out I did. But that is all changed.
Now the website tells you how many letters, symbols, signs, and numbers you must have. And now, some require you to change them often. Because of this I have had to make a list – I now have 22 passwords on it, and that is only for the sites I use often.
Some require my phone number, and I have changed it over the years. (old numbers now on list) Others want a symbol or a number on them. And sometimes the site tells you how long the password should be. Some need capital letters. And on and on.
My list helps, but soon I will have to update it since I use more and more sites. I love the sites that remember me and my password - I do not have to remember them.
If I travel I must take my list with me so I can use the complimentary computer in the hotel. I do not have a phone that is connected to the internet, but if and when I break down and get one, I will have to have my list for that, too.
For something that is supposed to make my life easier, I find that it is more complicated. However, I really do not want to go back to the "olden" days. I do not think I would survive now.
