Passwords
Now that you are starting to use all these new and exciting e-tools, you may find it hard to keep track of all your passwords. I have a strategy that might work for you. Of course I won’t tell you my specific strategy or you will know all my passwords… not that I don’t trust you
My Password Strategy
I take a few of letters from the website and then add some consistent numbers.
For example, I might use the 1st 3 letters of the name of web site with the 1st 4 digits of an old employee number:
- for delicious -> del1780
- for google docs -> goo1780
- for pbworks -> pbw1780
The numbers usually have some significance to me so I will remember like:
- my house number
- an old student number
- an old employee number
- part of my phone number
- my extension at work
The result is a different password for each web site and it is easy to remember.
