@drizzellla If you have any kind of updated device, most of them will keep your password for you now or a lot have gone to biometrics.

I know most of my devices including my android phone and my Apple Ipads and Macbook have the fingerprint which is just your finger resting for a moment on the touch pad.

No memory required and all it takes is a few minutes to keep your finger on the touch pad for the device during a one time setup to know who you are everywhere and then it's just tapping from then on to open your apps, websites, place orders, etc.

Thanks for mentioning that. But I am leery about passwords being stored in my computer or devices. In the past I have had to deal with fraud on credit cards and bank account, someone trying to be added to my online service provider account and a fraudulent credit card opened in my Dad's name (he died about 10 days after it was opened). It took 8 years of phone calls, police reports, certified documents and certified letters for my Dad's fraud to be settled. PS - It was a MAJOR computer company that issued the fraudulant credit card.

I am trying to be as private as possible. But it is getting harder and harder. Especially when you get a letter from a company saying that their database has been compromised and monitor your information. And that was from a company that in 2024 Fortune 500 list is 56.

I used to order from Andrew Lessman's website quite a bit. Then it changed and wanted me to have an account and password.

I do not want to have to deal with another password. I already have a book filled with them. And all too often, companies want me to change my password or use a verification number. It is crazy trying to follow all the passwords and updates. I need more than one page for some companies password changes.

@drizzellla

I have found a great PW ... I start with my 7 digit childhood phone number plus a letter added to the front or back. My sister has also done a variable of this.

Childhood phone number.

There's no way to trace phone numbers your parents had before they added area codes, and it's a number you can never forget.

I also use "dog's name deliberately misspelled" as a good password.

@Tinkrbl44 Thanks for the suggestions . I have a great password that I use for many sights but it seems that companies are now wanting passwords that are 10 digits, a few numbers, Upper and lower case letters and symbols.

So I make up a password on the fly to meet their requirements. Then I write it down on a post-it note. And then I have several post-it notes and not sure which web site goes to which password.

My husband bought me a book to log all the passwords. But I have not kept up with the changes.

You should see his book. It is insane. The book is over 100 pages and most pages are filled. Several companies he has pages of changes for him to log in. He has to change his password or log in, frequently. And even with him being so diligent, he will still, on occasion, have to call the company to log into his account.

@Tinkrbl44 I am SO OLD that my childhood phone # had 2 letters in the beginning. So I have that covered. I guess I will have to get my act together since it seems like any company that you deal with now wants you to submit a password. Thanks for the suggestion.
