Wanna a trick to have all your passwords easy to remember. Basically all the same but different.

So a lot of passwords now require a capital letter and a number.

Pick a word.

Mickey Mouse

The i's become 1's and the o's become 0 (zero)

Your basic password is m1ckeym0use

Now to make them all the same but different.

If u bank at Bank of America.

Password would be : BOAm1ckeym0use

Yahoo :        Ym1ckeym0use
Facebook :    Fm1ckeym0use

The first letter of one word companies becomes the required capital letter.
If it has a couple of words in name as in Bank of America the capitals are BOA.

Savais ?

Write them all down before changing to new passwords. It does get confusing.
FYI this is trademarked.
Donations gratefully accepted.

Oh ! and in anticipation, you're all very welcome.       !)!%^^

I see the views are slowly increasing though the tip jar seems to be practically empty… Wats up ?

May be an uptick as other data breaches get reported.

May be an uptick…...

Now, come on !

Jeff G's reference to me, today, resembling a tick was a passing comment on another thread.

Please don't reinforce the negative.

At lease you graduated me from a lowly tick (on a bears ass) to an Uptick, I feel honored. Thanks.

Our local hospital in poplar bluff is on that list . and some others from the show me state. Good thing I never like the hospital in bluff and refuse to go there.
