Password? Who has the password? Or the user name?
How does anybody remember all of these cyberspace security devices? Should I have them all tattooed on my hand? I spent the better part of 15 minutes trying to remember what my user name was for this blog. I know I wrote it on a piece of paper somewhere, but where is that piece of paper? Fortunately, I found a link to allow me to recover my user name and to create a new password. Does anybody else besides me have trouble thinking of a new password every time you need it? Thanks, Piper, for the idea. I used it.
One of the most frustrating experiences with creating user names is finding that the stupid system won't always let you have the exact one that you want. Whether it is because it doesn't have the right combination of letters and characters or has been used by somebody else, it is annoying.
I suppose it is easier to remember passwords or user names when it is something that you use on an everyday basis. But for those sites that you meander over to when you're bored, forget it.
Jason--why is there no spellcheck on this thing?

I agree completely about too many usernames and passwords, and silly rules, some of us have discussed several times a better way to handle multiple logins. It is hard to get enough people to agree to make it work though.
I have a program on the computer that I put them in, with one master password.
Why did you delete your other posts? I assumed you were killing off the blog...
There is spellcheck. Here was my blog post about it last March:

I deleted the other posts because I thought it looked cleaner that way.
