I write most of them down, but memorize the ones I use all the time...plus, mine are usually similar so it's easier to remember...worse case I can just request and reset a new one...

Do you memorize all of the passwords you use on a daily basis or do you write them down?
I used to write them down and have different ones for everything. Now I try to keep the same one and don't write them down. When I change them they are all the same. That way I don't have to remember a bunch of them. BMaston12

The ones I use most often are memorized, some by me some by the computer.  I do have all of them written down in a safe place.  Then if I cant get in after a try or two I can get it without having to do a reset.

No i cant memorize all my passwords because the companies make me change them on such a yearly basis that i just have a book that i write them all down in.

I used to use the same password on every website - BIG mistake!! I've had various sites hacked into like Facebook, Craigslist, two different email providers including hotmail (now Outlook) etc... :sad1:

I've always heard not to use the same password, but I was stubborn and didn't listen.  :'(
 
Now, I've come to my senses and I use Last Pass. It's the best thing out there. I wish I had used it sooner.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I do both memorize and write them to have a backup. Many are very similar so its easy to write them to keep track of all of them.

At my age, I think I need to write almost everything down. Somehow my memory is not as good compared to 15 years ago or so. Even my bank code it is so difficult to remember.

I remember them, but keep on telling myself to right them down as I have so many and I periodically forget. I try to make them somewhat hard to figure out, but this makes it hard for me.

Well....now that banks are requiring a change in passwords and you can't even do a play off the old one, I'm going to have to start writing them down!;/

I remember all of my passwords.  But I also write them down so that I don't forget.  As I get old, I do forget here and there. :)
