Ways to manage all those passwords?

Looking for a non-electronic way to manage your passwords?
Try an address book and a pencil :) It works great!
Enter the website name alphabetically then include your username, address and date you set up the account. We suggest using a pencil to make your annual password updates easier. Keep the book at your desk and maybe you shouldn't put a label on it saying PASSWORDS ;)

There are many different electronic ways to do this too:

As always, keep your passwords a good mix of letters and numbers.
Change them often! And DO NOT use your child's names, birthdays or pin numbers. Use different passwords for each online account you access. Keep those passwords difficult for others to guess! For a great resource for safe online activity, visit http://www.staysafeonline.info
