Passwords

I�m all about passwords. How many do I have? I really don�t know; I�d say between 30 & 40. Do I remember them all? Yes. Are they written down anywhere? No. Could someone guess them? No. Could a cracker program find them? No, doubtful. I�ve tried �em before. My memory works best with patterns. None of my passwords are in any dictionary, in any language, anywhere.

Do I change them often? Yes. Do I remember them when I change them? No, just that I�ve changed them. I remember patterns, and I change patterns.. Does this make sense? No. Does it work? Yes.

That�s the point.

What happens if something happens to me? Well, if it�s the passwords you�re after�you are fucked.

I should probably commit �em to paper, and put �em in the safe.

Oh well.


** Update **

Phone numbers for example...I don't remember the actual numbers...I remember the pattern from the key pad. Wierd!!! I know, but it works for me.

Passwords are a bitch to remember, so I just use the same two over and over... probably not the wisest thing to do, but definitely the easiest!

As far as phone numbers...I'm with you on the patterns. Sometimes I close my eyes and punch out the number in the air...usually works too.

I do the same thing with the number pads. Now that I use Vonage's "softphone" utility (I make calls thru the computer), I have to adjust the patterns for the different shape of the number pad on the computer. Kinda weird.
