"Let me in" number 8 is funny; they are all a joke though. :o)

People with No 2 must be kicking themselves - if they'd only added a 9 on the end they'd have been off the list :D

Here's an interesting article on passwords on today's Wired:
http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise...imple-pw/all/1
I have almost used a couple of those passwords in the past, but decided not to use them after all. I have the most terrible memory since I have gotten older. This is what I do for pin numbers for my credit/debit cards (a form of passwords), is that I carry a bunch of business cards in my pocketbook & I use the ending number of a phone number of a business that I do business with. Then all I have to do is if I forget my pin number (this has happened to me before), is to pull out that business card and look at the phone number. I once took just my wallet to go shopping & did not take my pocketbook with me. (kept the wallet in my pocket). I went to fill up with gas using my debit card. I try never to run my debit card as a debit, I usually run it as a credit. But this particular gas station would not let me run my debit card as a credit card. Since I did not have my pocketbook with me with all my business cards, and I could not remember the pin number, I asked the attendant to borrow their phone book. I looked up the business, saw the phone number and then I had the pin number to use for my gas. I was so thankful that I had used this method for pin numbers because I was out of town and would have been stuck with no gas!
Same here, except I use KeePass.Quote:
