When I add a internet site to "my favorites", and I type in a title for the page - I also put type my password and sign in name next to the title of the internet site. That way when I go to select a site from my favorites - the info is right after the title.
Saves me from racking my brain to try to remember what I had chosen.
Let me know if you like this idea. | | Moderator - Gone, but never forgotten with 48,307 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Great White North (WI) Experience: Getting somewhere I hope | | Interesting idea, not sure how hacakable it may be.

The cost is nothing for their free download. I saw it advertised in PC World and it is wonderful.

#14 | 1. Get a nice new "Sharpie" pen
2. If you PC case has a side panel, remove it and use the Sharpie to scribe all of you password info inside
3. Turn your keyboard upside down and write the passwords, etc. there

#15 | If anyone uses Opera, you can put you're passwords in the "Special" box of the personal details (go into File>Preferences>Personal Information). That way, whenever you go into the site, you just right-click in the form, go to Insert and select the appropriate password. Works a treat, but probably not the best way of going about internet banking. I have an ultra-secure password (alpha-numeric and upper/lower case) that might be a ***** to remember, but no-one else will be able to get it this side of the Y3K!
