6. To resolve password reset frequencies (and to remember them easier)
|
This is what I do:
I use a common word (this is the word that I will use through any iteration). Apply two numbers in the center of the word. Then when you are asked to reset the password, you can just up the digits within the word, and then work backward. Example: "Wel10come" (without quotes) You can then reuse the password using any combination of the digits when reset time is due. So: "Wel11come" because the new one, then "Wel12come" and so on and so forth. All you have to do is remember the number sequence, which is really quite easy to do. Note: No, that is not my password.  |
