    Well that's lucky. A text file with a password in - good job that hackers never think to look for these things isn't it.

    Guilty as charged, BUT... I keep my home passwords on my work pc and vice versa! (Helps that I work 5 mins from home so if I do forget, I am ok to go get 'em.

      I work 55min from home, so this helps having them remembered. Really, it does.

          I was so close to hard-resetting my router, since I couldn't remember the login password. Then I stumbled on a text file on my hard drive with the password.:-D Saved me lots of time reconfiguring my wireless devices. Must write more stuff down.

                        same here except a bit obfuscated password = pa$$w0rd, takes sometime to get used to it, but then... the funny thing sometimes when I am typing password, inadvertently I type pa$$w0rd...:laugh:

                          I got so annoyed at all the different password, userids, pin numbers etc add infinitum that I started using passwordsafe. Bloody wonderfull, I sometimes even remember to synch the office and home copies:-D http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net[^]
