Thanks A and Joe, I read that article when it came out, as I get the NY times, but your link, makes it hit home a lot more.
So my personal passwords are on an excel file (there are about 200), and then I have an excel file with software passwords too.
They are on my main hardrive, just in a normal folder. I'll make a encrypted one, but it's a real sacrifice as I've gotten so used to the convenience of a quick keystroke to bring it up. And it seems I do have to bring it up quite often, especially for log ins to forums.
I should also probably make a password for the computer as noted, but it's a little scary in that: what if you forget your password? That one has got to be memorized no?
Finally, for my desktop, I do leave it on all day. I never log out between uses. Your opinon on that A and Joe?
I pop down in my chair maybe 6-8 time day and just work. No log in.
