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.
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.
Getting ready for a trip to the beach, camping, or just grilling with a few friends this weekend? Before you pack up and head out the door, write down a list of everything you’ll need so you can avoid that extra trip to the store to pick up the forgotten sunblock. Check off each item as you pack them into your beach bag, cooler or car so you can be sure you have a fun relaxing weekend without worrying if you forgot anything.
