Windows H'eight.

and I can't even re-boot my computer after a complete shut-down without a magic PiN, it accepted 1234, which- for the moment - I can remember.

My A-4 file of passwords and usernames now runs to 23 pages.

'twould be nice to be able to start again with a 'secure' password and then just add a suffix that names the individual site, Bank, Car, House, Insurance, etc. but that's a Bridge Too Far for me now, friends keep telling me to use KeyPass or similar, but I'm not sure I can trust that either - apparently it's 'only' on ones' own computer, not in the 'cloud', which I totally mistrust, but what if 'someone' should manage to hack into my computer ?

I carry most on an encypted SanDisk drive, and only insert it when I have disconnected from the Internet, but of course sometimes I forget to do that.

Life was simpler before computers ! - I blame Bill Gates.
