My thoughts about putting passwords in braille: since the braille code has 63 combinations only (if we're talking about 6-dot braille that can be used with a braille writer), that complicates matters for symbols that are context-dependent. Also, if you use dropped-down symbols for numbers, they might be confused with punctuation marks. I had the dickens of a time when I wanted to enter the dollar sign with a braillenote Apex. That's where it's so nice to use a desktop computer for password character entry--everything is so readily available, asterisks, dollar signs, diacritic characters--anything you want.

Then you can't do it.

hi!

Elaine mentioned putting all your passwords in braille, that's a good idea, but if you don't have a braille writer?

That's exactly why you need a password manager, not a document you
have to mess around with.

Hi Tom!

Thanks for that. I'll try and remember the passwords long enough to
do this.

The problem is, i've got so much on my mind with hubby being so ill,
that nothing seems to stay in my head long enough.

I have so many user names and passwords that I have resorted to
creating a document listing them all. I store this document on a
separate external hard drive that only I have access to. Of course,
you could store the list on a thumb drive if that would be easier.

Hi Everyone!

Recently i've found that i've become terrible at remembering
passwords for different things and sites, does anyone have any
suggestions?
