For past few months, I have been witnessing some form of amnesia with crucial informations. The number of UserIds, Passwords and PINs that I have to maintain has gotten big that I have begun to forget a few. Actually, I am quite ok with remembering details. So this crucial-moment-amnesia is surprising me and at times bothering me! I am too skeptical to write it down in paper. I am too scared to have single password for everything (diversification of risk?). So, I have to remember the passwords by-heart.

Office applications, emails, blogs, mobile phones, online bank accounts, ATMs, online subscriptions…huh!

Can someone bring on the Biometrics everywhere soon…?

I do hope that I am not alone…!

PS: I did a very sentimental thing today. I created an userid/password for my brother to update my blog. In case I cannot update the blog, he will do it on behalf of me!

    machi , i got the latest version of blackberry. apart from reading emails while walking to/from my work , i am using the password keeper. its quite handy and i no longer take any effort to remember the 15 passwords. i am sure one of the gadgets u have will have some password keeper with some encription…

    Cool! So bought a blackberry…Password encryption in one of the devices you always carry around sounds like a nice idea…

    Rajat…will do my best :)

    Vaibhav that is a good solution, I have used similar password safe softwares before. But then I have to install the software @home, @work, @native etc., I found it more cumbersome
