The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 28, 2021

The story of my life…..

Brutus you had to write a memo about where you put the banking password and keep it in sight! ….Or not.

No problem, you can do a password reset, they’ll email you a link and … you also lost your email password?

MY online banking password is so ridiculous, that I’m the only one that won’t forget it!! Even the NSA thinks it’s ridiculous!!

/SMIRK/

Oh my God!!!! It is the first time that I identify myself with Brutus. I will have to get my Born Loser certificate.

I would highly recommend that Brutus use Avast passwords that would fill it in for you. Saves a ton of aggravation for sure.

It is on the Post-it under the counter at the bank.

I guess you’re going to have to reset your password.

My notebook computer remembers passwords for me. The down side is that I have forgotten all of them, so if anything ever happens to my notebook… Now if only Windows could do those stupid I am not a robot puzzles.

I remember the early days of the internet when it was relatively safe to use fairly simple passwords. Sadly, now you have to make ridiculous passwords that you have to write down.

He should have made his password the same as the combination on his luggage locks.

In 2010 I began an Excel file with all my user names and passwords… I now have 218 passwords listed… all in one place… Only problem is the file is password protected…

That was my mother…

I bet Brutus can’t remember where he put those memory pills at either. Remember the ones the doctor prescribed.

sounds like my family most days.

IMBroke1!

I check my bank and credit card accounts every day.

You’re going to need a Freudian hypnotist to get my passwords.

I write every password in a small ledger, which also has the places to notify, along with their phone numbers and internet addresses. This ledger was used by our youngest daughter when I went into the hospital in Jan. The Drs told my family that I had little chance of recovery, which made me happy that I had written everything down

write down all your passwords and let someone else know where they can be found. You never know what might happen in the future

Brutus wrote in on a list of passwords, then put the list inside the wall-safe in the bedroom closet. Now, if he could only remember the combination to the safe. The problem is; the combination is written on the list of passwords.

I keep those that I don’t remember in a notebook by the computer so when a burglar breaks into my house he will conveniently have the passwords along with the computer as I don’t want to make it difficult for him…..

Check the back of his hand.

I tell everyone I know: get a password repository application with a long, easy-to-remember password. Nobody listens … but I try. I’m the IT guy. Remember, if it’s easy to reset your password, it’s probably easy for someone else to do it to you.

Don’t look at us Gladys. We don’t know either.

OK, back to your question Brutus, yes.

I found an easy to remember my pass word. I just use the forgot my password feature. What I do not like is when I get password already used.

This is one reason I refuse to do financial stuff online. They say never use the same password for everything but, unless my computer remembers it for me, I have to use the same one.

Don’t worry, some hacker has already found it.

I got so tired of those “I am not a robot” CAPTCHAs that ask you to select every picture from a group that is, say, a motorcycle, that I made up a special password for one of them—IAMAR0B0T.
