How many times have you gone to a website you are signed up for with an account
and forgotten your password? I know I have done that a million times. That's why
I want to share with you Whyvillians a great alternative to keeping your
password in your brain.
Okay, it is always a good idea to remember your password yourself, but make sure
it is not easy to guess or common. Say your name was Sarah -- a bad password for
you would be Sarah, but a better one might be the name of your dog, like Freddie
or something... only Freddie is also obvious to people who know you, so change
it to fred1, making the 1 the I and getting rid of the last E.
My life saver when it comes to passwords is this: I go find a pencil, some
Scotch tape (tm) and, since my computer is against a wall, I write my current
password on the piece of tape and stick it to the lower back of my computer, or
sometimes under the monitor. This has saved my accounts many times before,
because I could log on right away instead of waiting for the system to email it
to me.
This works not only for Whyville but many other sites where a
password is required. I hope this helps you out next time you forget your
password!
This is brewlea, logging off. If you need any more help you can why-mail
me as always, and I will be sure to reply. Have a good one!
