Password problem..:-(

Somebody please tell me how i can remember passwords. I was almost in tears sometime back. Logged in to Blogger and typed my password which was incorrect for so many times i started worrying too much. This was not the kinda end to Yellow Umbrella i wanted. I even questioned my friend thinking he had something to do with this. I even started writing down all the passwords that i have created for all the accounts. It made things worse and i couldn't remember many others too. And then just tried once more and it worked. God.. First thing i did was change the password and write it down on a paper.

Now my problem is, i know very well that this paper will be lost in a day or two. I don't want to save the passwords in my phone as friends use my phone sometimes. Another worst thing about this is, i can never ever remember answers to security questions. So what can be done now? I don't want to write it down on a paper or save in phone. Can't remember security answers.

Please please please tell me if there are other options.

  1. I would suggest that , you need to follow some rule regarding your passwords.
    Passwords must be a combination of numbers, alphabets in lower case and alphabets in upper case. And it should be your name or your birth date, which can be easily cracked by any one. So you can have like K@vYa555 / kav678ya etc. This is your name still passes all the criteria of password requirement. Since it is your name, you do not have to write it down.

    Same is the case of security answers. Select the questions which are closely related to your memory or whose answers never changes. e.g. your favorite drink : water, your childhood friend's name. You need not have to remember. The moment you see the question, you will have the answers ready in your brain.

    You can even use notepad to write your passwords, so there is no fear of loosing the paper. But it will be available to anyone who operates your pc or laptop

  2. whosoever is closest to you or someone you cant afford forget .. take his/her name and spell it last to first ;) add 1 if number is mandatory .. add @ rate if special sign is mandatory :)
    thats the easiest way to get a toughest and most memorable password :)
    let me know what happened !! :)

  3. Just try and remember it than writing it down in a paper, chance are more for someone to misuse it.

  4. This makes me rememeber a Sardar's joke who used to have the same problem. And hence he tried this way by keeping his password as 'incorrect'. so whenever he forgot his password and types something else then system used to give alert as Your password is incorrect..hehehe..
