[Misc] differing Accounts/passwords

Normal Rob · Feb 28, 2020

no, not a list of mine but I just wanted to vent my fury at the sheer number of different bloody accounts and passwords that we are being forced to remember these days. It's bloody impossible...

Banks,
Internet
streaming services
credit cards
work logons
work HR
online ordering
kids nintendo account
school reports
Oyster cards...

the list is bloody endless! (well mine is actually about 45 but you get my drift)

is it just me

I can't cope anymore :tantrum:

Keep it simple, use '12345' or 'Password'.

I do.

Just write most of them down at home. Leave some important bank information out, but the real danger is people online getting your stuff, not people in your house.

Don't forget to get his actual name too

letmein is the best password, very easy to remember. If they insist on a number as well, letmein1 .

Use a password manager. I have 440 passwords, one to remember with some strong security around it. There are several now that work across platforms.

When in doubt use ‘itsasecret’.

Sage used that as a login password on new systems years ago. I remember thinking “WTF are they doing using a German sounding word for the password” :dunce:

What, the ad, or the actual app?

I have put them all in an email and sent them to my Russian bride-to-be.

She asked me to make sure my bank details were top of the list.

It really shows how much she cares.

We’ve got this at work and it drives me nuts - mainly because we have so many systems from different providers. Our password manager system doesn’t work on all of them and then messes up my remote login when I want to work from home.

I’ve had to write down which systems it works with and then the passwords for the ones which don’t. Which kind of defeats the object.

Have you tried "rogeriscool"?

Denis · Feb 28, 2020

I often wonder what will happen when I die. All my bank accounts, utility bills etc. are online, absolutely no paper trails. I guess my sons will have fun (not), trying to sort it all out.

Bear in mind if you use the same passwords for things, then one breach and the baddies have a lot of access. Obviously most of us will have a few tiers of passwords (letmein for the crappy sites, a medium one for social etc and then a strong one for commerce / banking), but I still think it's worth getting a password manager and having strong passwords for everything. It's very easy to know whether you've used a particular password on a site/service that has been hacked

I do.

You can't. Some logins will require a minimum of 8 characters, some insist on a mixture of letters and numbers, some insist that the letters include capitals too, and some won't let you in unless you add a symbol as well. And if you get locked out and request to reset your password, some systems won't let you use the one you've had before. So, just taking 'password' as an examplethat can leave you with:
password
Password
passw0rd
Passw0rd
password!
Password!
password10, 11,12, 13 ................
....and so on; more than enough to get locked out if you don't remember which one you use.

And some systems just won't accept a 'weak' or 'medium' password - you have to go strong, which'll involve something like QwE3&@jKjhF78#
Now just try f***in' remembering that in a hurry!
