Read the post again for a better solution. As far as your comment about people being able to get into your notpad, I'm not sure what you mean... if you can clarify, I'll try to reply. Take care. Mike. Hi Inge,

It’s definitely NOT safe to have a master password. Read the post again for a better solution. As far as your comment about people being able to get into your notpad, I’m not sure what you mean… if you can clarify, I’ll try to reply.

Take care.

So for example if your password is: <strong>d98d&J@#4</strong> you would write down: <strong>d98d&J@#47$3</strong> then just don't include the last three digits. :) Talk soon. Mike.

It makes it easy for me to remember. For example: d0n0t7ouc# = Do not touch. I may add an exclamation mark, dollar sign or other symbol at the beginning or end. Also, I will mix languages. For example, spell part of the word in Spanish and the other part in English adding the number and/or symbols. Or just use one short Spanish word and one short English word. I may through some Greek or French words too. What I do is to choose a word or a phrase and substitute some of the letters with numbers or symbols that will look similar to the letter.

suppose you need a password to your online banking password,
- think about your favourite song about money, let’s say it is Donna Summer – She Works Hard For The Money
- take the first letters of each word of the first line lyrics, you have
swhftm, , capitalise the letter of the word that is the most important to you (like money), add $ and you have your password swhftM$
- looks complicated, but it is so easy to remember, as we know the lyrics of our favourite songs so well; I actually hum my passwords as I write them ;o)
