Thinly sliced (from the deli dept. at the grocery store) turkey & lean ham. Sliced Swiss cheese (more specifically gruyere), between two slices of French bread, dipped in an egg wash and fried like a grilled cheese sandwich on a griddle. Often sprinkled with powdered (confectioners sugar - I'll skip that, thanks) and served with raspberry jam. There's a reason they call these sandwiches "decadent" - you can only eat them once a decade if you expect to live much longer Jill |

Who the hell are they to tell me what's a proper password for me??!! /password rant Sorry we were so rudely interrupted.... I am developing a password system that generates the password from the web address of the internet page on which I am located at the time. IOW, if I am on, "Wellsfargo.com" the password I will use will be unforgettable to me, because it will be generated by the word, "wellsfargo" together with a standard password that applies to all that I can remember easily. When I complete this, my password will be different for every vendor, and yet unforgetable by me, since I will generate it mentally based on the name of the website. I may try to get around the word length problem by generating an 8 character password to begin with, since thare are some sites that require more than 6 characters, but I haven't come across one yet that refuses to accept 8 characters. I will use the keyboard letter positions to generate specal characters, since most "password advisors" insist on mixing in some special characters, although I really can't understand why. They only add about 10 characters to the standard 36 or so alpha-numeric set. But the keyboard has them, so it will be easy for me to use it to generate them. |

And then I send myself an email with my username and password hint. The hint makes perfect sense to me, so I don't have to include the actual password. It could be a letter and the # sign, and I know what name and number that is. It could be old goal or new goal, and I know what that means. At work, I keep it very simple as 3 of use the same account, and I really doubt somebody wants to hack into the deli department account. So I have an easy word, punctuation, and a number, and the number goes up by a specific number every time it requires a password change. That way, the other clerks can easily guess the new password if they find it has changed. I also like to answer security questions wrong, so that I know the correct answer, but it isn't easily obvious. For example, I don't use my sister's middle name for that question. I use somebody else;s middle name. I don't use my first pet, etc. |

You can use simple ones for unimportant things, but for the important stuff, it's good to have a password that's difficult to figure out. and, it these important ones that I would like to encode so that I can figure them out on the spot based on the information I have rather than sheer memory, but nobody else could. - It would be completely raqndom to anyone who doesn't know my "system", and that way, I wouldn't have to write anything down. My problem with writing stuff down is twqfold, I would misplace the book and not be able to enter my own accounts, and/or someone else would break into my house when I am gone asnd get all my passwords out of the book. In either case, I don't like the idea of writing therm down in a book. This is why I send myself an email and save it in a special location. And the email contains the username and a hint. No actual password. And I know what the hint means. I have made up numbers that go with certain things, so I know what the combination is, how many digits as they vary, and what order and what punctuation. I never write down my passwords, but I do know where to find my hints as I have various passwords at a ton of websites. I would never be able to remember which password goes with which website without my set of hints. I can't even remember my usernames sometimes, and I only use a few of those. I was just at my employer's website to review a paycheck stub. It took me 15 minutes to remember that my username for that account is my checker number, not a word. |

There's a dangerous assumption here, i.e. that choosing a relatively simple password that is highly personal to you, is safe because nobody would guess it unless they knew you and your personal information. Folks, that's not how hackers break passwords, they don't go your login and try to guess your password. They hack the website completely (a-la Sony) grab the master password file & username list, and feed that data to one or more computers to simply brute force decrypt the password file, they don't need to know anything about you at all. I've decided to use Lastpass and different long completely random passwords for each website that I couldn't begin to remember. The only password I have to remember is my Lastpass password, they handle the rest. Granted, this relies on two things: 1. Nobody can guess my Lastpass password 2. Lastpass's security and encryption is good enough to prevent the master password data falling into the wrong hands and being decrytped in a useful amount of time. So far it's working, but if you bank online or use credit cards online, the watchword is vigilance ;-) BTW, are you wondering if one of the recent hacks (Sony, Citicard, etc) has compromised your password or email address? If not, you probably should be, so check out this tool: https://shouldichangemypassword.com/ It's legit and simply searches the data that has been leaked from sites like Sony to see if your email address is in leaked data. -- Nik Simpson |

You probably did not notice that multiple crosspostings are in the header and you crossposted this post just like the trolls want you to. Check out the posted dates at the very beginning of this thread. Its a big joke to them. They dragged over here an old thread from rpcc from a year ago. It is not being helped by the poster Bill who is a total moron; who has given out bad and dangerous advice on cats before in other groups. |
