how are we supposed to remember all these passwords and code words

auntieflo when you come to enter a password on a new site I get a pop up window on the bottom of the screen asking if I want to use their suggested strong password. I always click on that and it just saves it for me. This is then shared with my other devices, which I need face recognition to get into. So I never have to write down a passwords or remember it.

Thank you Vegansrock. Next time I need a new password, I'll see if I remember to try that.

Just tried to place an order with Ocado I've used them before, essentially to buy our preferred coffee pods which have become unavailable in shops, I tend to buy 20 boxes at a time. The password which was stored, they deemed to be wrong when I entered it several times, so I couldn't progress to check out. No "have your forgotten your password or do you wish to change your password" anywhere so that could email me with the option to change password, how stupid!! I couldn't therefore place the order with them, their loss I've looked on line and found another company, not Amazon, who specialise in coffee pods and they undercut Ocado in spite of them having an offer on my pods.

My son put a password manager on my iPad.

Anyone on this thread watched today's 'Dirty Rotten Scammers' on BBC1?
They have highlighted data breaches as the source of scams and also advised complex passwords. They also mentioned password managers.

I use three words, and change some letters to special characters, and add a two digit number to the end. It is 18 characters long.

My husband got me to put it into a website that checks how strong your password is.

The result was that it would take a computer "about 500 quadrillion years" to crack, so I feel it's quite secure 😆

If I put the same three words "as is" and without the numbers at the end, it would take "34 thousand years".

My husband, who works in IT security, uses LastPass for his password manager, but I couldn't get on with it.
