But how do you remember them - especially if you change them periodically? How do you know the current password is sc023tcHtap2 and not sC023Tchtap1 or sc022tcHTap2 or whatever you might change it to?
I have over a dozen different password to remember at work. I can't access a safe to keep them in. All of them require updating every 3 months (some more often than that). I can't use a special password program. I'm not supposed to write them down. And that's just my work passwords. God knows how many passwords I have at home or on my mobile devices. I have a fairly easy (= easy to hack!) password system and even then I can't remember the passwords to some of my accounts.

So now you've got to remember the month when you updated each of your passwords? That sounds even more complicated.
And if all you are doing is keeping everything else in your password the same and just changing the date code for each website, then that doesn't sound much different to my simple method. So, do you keep the same password (with month and year) for all passwords though? Or is "scotchtape" changed for each website/application? And, if so, how do you remember which word applies to which account?

You update your passwords EVERY month - so not complicated at all.
You do not keep everything the same - the code changes certain things as part of it's coding - that is all I will say about my methods. And NO I would never use the same word for more than one account - there is a method for setting the word for each account though. As part of my monthly admin, I delete accounts that are no longer needed. I have never forgotten a password yet. |

I don't think I'd be able to remember different random words for the 50+ passwords I have to remember. Nor find time to change those words every single month. That's over 600 passwords to remember each year.
A code that alters the password based on the month and year only complicates matters, IMO.

hey ho - we are all different, codes and numbers are my thing.
Used to be a computer networks manager BC (before children) and old habits die hard. Our department had an enforced monthly change on all accounts. Encouraged people to not hold multiple accounts and to close down temporary ones which were not in continual use. I still have under 20 password/passcodes to remember so not too bad. |

Lets face it, most of us let our web browsers remember passwords for us even though that's a massive security risk...

I do worry about it, but I have mine written down (not with cards), but for websites etc. Drives me bl@@dy mad. Can't get into my own accounts without changing the password sometimes, but a hacker could do it quicker and easier. Please soon let it all be fingerprint technology and then I can stop all these bl@@dy passwords.
