How can I safely store my passwords in case I forget them?
In terms of safely storing your passwords, you have a couple of options. Believe it or not, there's software that's made that allows you to store your passwords in an encrypted database. So, by using yet another password, you have access to all your passwords. Another way to do it, since a lot of these passwords that we're talking about have to do with on-line passwords, is to put them on a sheet of paper and put them somewhere that's not related in any way, shape, or form to a computer, so you can access them. Another thing that people do is they tend to use the same password for the same types of things. You might have a password that you use for anything that's financial; you might have a password that you use for anything that's for fun or entertainment. That way you don't have to remember so many passwords. I advise people to try to limit the number of passwords that they use, because you'll find yourself forgetting passwords, not being able to find them, having to retrieve passwords, making requests of passwords, and spending a lot of your time trying to get your password back. Come up with something that really works and maybe use that password for most of the things that you use.
