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.
