Passwords and Pin Numbers and User Names OH MY!

Erin September 29th, 2009

Your brain can only remember so many passwords!  And it’s NOT safe to use the same log in and password for every one of your accounts-nice try!  With online banking, shopping, bill pay, email, etc. you need unique log in info, passwords, and usually a security question unique to your life.Password address book

I recommend using a small address book with A to Z tabs, entering each website, log in info and password under the corresponding letter.
For example, I would put my amazon.com info under the letter A.  Simply use an unused address book you have lying around the house or purchase this super cool, 100% recycled address book at Target.  You can also find books specifically designed to store passwords, but they are typically more expensive.  Make sure you store your book in a safe place like a locked desk drawer or file cabinet when you’re away from your desk.  If you’re going to be gone for a long period of time consider putting it in a safe or fire-proof box for extra safe keeping.
