How do you store your password/serial #s?

[stiltman]

Just wondering how you all keep track of all your passwords and serial numbers?

I just did a count of my current list of usernames and passwords and I have 11 different usernames and 27 different passwords. I keep them all in a text file that has a non txt extension in a folder that is encrypted. So I only need to keep track of 2 username/passwords. I keep all my serial numbers in a basic text file in the same encrypted folder.

The hassle comes when I have to change my passwords. I do it no matter what every 30 days, except for a couple that I really don't care it they get cracked

Mentally.

I keep a 'readable' copy on CD-RW in my safe, and a 'coded' copy on a USB Key.

[curryman]

probably daft, but I allways use the same username and password if i can.
if i'm asked for atleast a certain amount of characters then i just add certain things i know i'll remember

Fancy yourself as a bit of a James Bond then do you.

[tgpo]

I just use things I'll remember.

For serials I just keep a print out of all of them by the computer

[VCDHunter]

All handwritten in pencil on a piece of A4 paper.

Sorry - What was the question again ????

[northcat_8]

OH and for serialz, if I need one of those I just go to www.cracks-R-us.com and get them :P :P :P

Actually, more of the 'delusional paranoid' type...

I put all mine out on the web, and let other people keep track of them for me

I use a scheem to generate passwords such that I only need a number to generate or remember a pasword. Hence I can openly display my passwords as numbers. i.e. #6

dvd+r?

[housepig]

for the ones that I use infrequently, I have a notebook with them written down.

the ones I use frequently, I have memorized.

[flaninacupboard]

grey squidgy stuff between my ears. i'm always flaninacupboard or flanina if there's a character limit :P
password is always the same sequence of numbers.
only exceptions are work computer, user name Edward, password is standard
and online banking which is IB1412626455! but i log into it so often i never forget.

No my friend, the numbers are nothing like that but a good guess!
You're pretty close.

Its funny at work when the girls have stuffed up their passwords i have to change them, they always use their boyfriends names as the password, i always ask them what they are going to make it next month, change boyfriends maybe

[handyguy]

I read the most common password is 'password'. That guy must get a lot of action.

[Sifaga]

when i got little to do i'll go thru the password file for a nosey,

dont you just love ERP systems that dont encrypt password files.

i made one managers password "RichardHead" cause he was one

usually after a long weekend i get calls that the system is broken and is not accepting their password

[Ripper2860]

I stick all my passwords to my monitor with PostIt notes ...

utBa alla yma asswordspa area ina igPa atinLa -- so no one would ever be able to guess them.

Damn I'm Good !!! 8)

[redwudz]

I try to keep most of my passwords uniform and just have a few variations. Like I care if someone breaks into my AOL account and uses it for perverted things. Hell, I use it myself for ever more perverted things, so they would probably never notice. I am very careful with my bank, credit card passwords, but I could care less if someone were to log into my 'THINGS TO DO WITH MY SHEEP IN MY ROOM AT NIGHT.COM' account. (Capmaster gave me the URL.)

Edit: Just kidding about the AOL. I use cable.

[flaninacupboard]

AOL!?! How did you get out onto the "real" internet?!

[Cobra]

I keep mine in my head, but I can never remember my online banking details so they're kept under heavy encryption. All I need to remember is a 56-character long key, but I memorised that so it's not a problem.

One password to rule them all etc..

I stick my work usernames and passwords to the front of my PC in the office, still get the occasional twat phoning me when I'm off asking for my email password or something similar.

[lordsmurf]

Paper and pencil.

[Capmaster]

I write it on Dolly's hindquarters. Nobody looks there

Seriously, I write them on business cards in my wallet and disguise them as phone numbers.

[dr_vanski]

I use the MobileDB application that came with my Palm Tungsten E. Since I always carry the palm with me, I also have all my passwords as well. The database is backed up to my PC when I hotsync.

[Guest]

I post them here so I always know where to find them. I have a system that encrypts them as twisted posts. And you thought I was just having fun.

[TheRock]

I can't believe nobody suggested Password Agent, sw that handles, files and generates passwords for ya. Worth every penny, I must have a hundred in it. Can save data to cdrw. When you need it, open it, copy and paste the PW, really great. gl
