Welcome to Tip Tuesday! Where I plan on sharing a new tip with you each week. Something that will save a little time and generally is done on the cheap!
Remember Your Passwords
If you are like me you can’t remember your passwords or keep them straight for love or money. I have hundreds of passwords and many of them are for sites that I only use once or twice a year. Instead of having little scraps of paper hanging around I keep my passwords in a Rolodex.
The Rolodex keeps everything alphabetized for me and allows a quick reference system. I rarely post my full password on the card but rather a quick clue that will head my brain in the right direction. It also works wonders for those passwords that the hubs and I have to share. You know there are a few of them that he picked and you can never pull it out of your brain. Simple clues like his “favorite dessert” or “Coulter’s first dog” are a huge help.
How do you keep all your passwords straight? Use the same one for everything?
Looking for more tips to make life easier? Tuesday Tips is a great place to find them and my Top Five often contains a couple.

8 years agoIt’s probably not the best way but I use variations and plays on the same thing. And I know which ones are used for which sites.

8 years ago AUTHORI wish I could Danielle. I forget which variation I used and then get locked out of everything. Wish that memory was better!
