Aha A new Work PC...

first step is install a decent web browser next make sure you point office file saving at the local hard disk (or file server), it defaults to onedrive. (Best is to google the instructions to disable onedrivel) download notepad++ for a decent text editor that can keep the following item in a tab... chuck a text file on the desktop for your less important passwords, as you get (or reset) passwords add it to this file. once in a while drag it onto a thumb drive or email it to yourself so *next time* you get a new machine you'll have them all a couple of clicks away.

Done (Chrome & Notepad++) the worst thing we 'have too use' oneDrive (but I have managed to avoid it so far, but I backed up My docs and all the other stuff that I use) Appear to have guessed the right password for Office, got My Computer on the desktop. Annoyed that I have to do it. :rolleyes:

Hi All, I have been given a new work PC, Windows 10, Orfice 365 etc. The worst thing is now remembering pass words to everything so I can set it up and get too work...

That's it, I will call it Orfice from now on. It's so appropriate.

I though everyone got it but then I think of many managers and realize that to be so full of s/// they must naturally lack the Orfice.

Please don't do this - bite the bullet and use a password manager - doesn't matter which one, have one for work and one for personal if you must.. There's not much reason to not use one these days, even last pass has a free version...
C# has already designed away most of the tedium of C++.

The reason I do do, and always will do this is I work at a few different sites, so: do I want to fart around installing a password manager each place (if even allowed)? - no is the password manager data file portable? - often not, some even go to lengths to hide the file or worse still keep it in the cloud - FFS - NO THANK YOU, NOT EVER do I fully trust the password manager? - no (as in will it work everywhere, every O/S, if the file gets a little bit corrupt...) basic text file: works everywhere - 100% portable, fast, no need to install (& trust) someone's software. And finally if you can't trust yourself dragging a text file round on a USB stick then you're really out of your depth using computers anyway. And if you're the only one using a particular computer, desktop (as well as copy on USB) is safe as anywhere, if in doubt 7zip compress with password - and again if you think that's an issue you're really should find other work because computers isn't your thing. Password manager: total waste of time. Complete BS, just don't bother.
Signature ready for installation. Please Reboot now.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Add another vote for keepass. One of those, just works and is easy to live with. I use it all the time to generate passwords. Love that I control the complexity. :)
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
