How many passwords, access codes, user id's do you have to remember and for what?  

  For me, I've got wayyyy too many to remember and I can't believe how my brain can remember all these things.  It must be the sardines I have been eating.  (actually, not lately... )

  Ok, here are some places where I need passwords/user id's.  What are yours? [UL] [LI]logging into online banking/visa accounts/mastercard account[/LI] [LI]email[/LI] [LI]at my other job, we have a 5-digit code number to enter before entering (always seem to forget this)[/LI] [LI]debit card numbers[/LI] [LI]I have some websites affiliated with my day job that I have to access[/LI] [LI]ufile taxes[/LI] [LI]DS ;)[/LI][/UL] It never ends, huh?

I don't know but for my emails and message boards I use the same password.  Probably not the best idea but for personal indification things I use different ones.

I don't need to remember the password here though, my computer remembers it.

have you notice that some codes you cannot remember but your fingers can automatically punch in.........such as keypad codes on doors, alarms, etc

 exactly.  I enter so many passcodes and security PINs, but couldn't verbally output them if I tried.

Funny you should mention this.  I have some hidden folders in Picasa that I can't access because I can't remember the password.  I have scoured the help topics and I still can't find a way to get them.
