Writing Down Your Password
•Sometimes, you just have to write down a password. If so, try to disguise it in some way.
•
•You might invent a person and address in an address book.
•
–Jack Frost
–1094 Saint Joseph Court Apt 3
–Austin, TX
•
• which might remind you that your password is:
•JF1094SJC#3
•
•Only you know that this person is imaginary so this is pretty secure!
•

You can also use this technique to record PIN numbers for (say) bank accounts if you have to write them down. Simply make them part of a phone number for an imaginary person e.g. 206 555 1212
