Look at them. A page of jumbled letters, numbers and special characters I have written down on several different pages . It’s all for the sake of computer security.
I have about 15 different passwords for work-related sites, or should I say, my part-time work-related sites. Then I probably have another 25 or 30 more passwords for personal use or for my other line of work.
Now, I must admit that contrary to all the warnings, I do sometimes use the same passwords to access different pages. I am warned over and over not to do that. But have mercy on a poor soul as me who does good to remember the grocery list.
I would almost be willing to bet that my number of passwords are even lower than many other computer users. But there are still too many passwords that fly out in front of me, leaving me dazed and confused.
Perhaps someone out there in the computersphere is working on a way to minimize passwords. I mean, some sites can remember your password and login name. And then some sites say they can but don’t really do it, like my Verizon Wireless account. Maybe we should get Sally Struthers to do a TV commercial asking for bucks for developing a password-free world like she did seeking help for all those impoverished foreign children.
Please we need to limit passwords before people go stark raving mad. Time is running out!
