Paper? The only time I use paper is when I have to send a fax.

Seriously? Right, so how many of those are on paper? I have probably 35-40 password for various client things - crap now that I think about it, they are in Excel, but on my desk at home that never leaves or even VPN's anywhere, but I should KeePass those (adding note for self when I get home)...

Personally, I have 186 _different_ passwords for the various websites and applications I use. For my customers, I have 238. No way I could remember all of those. I use a password management application. Shooky sets all of his passwords to assw0rdpay Regards, Michael B.

Seriously? I'm weirder than I thought, it would NEVER occur to me to tell someone to have *any* password on paper ANYWHERE, but apparently some security guys don't have a problem with it: http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-20010621-245.html?tag=mncol;title 99% of the passwords I have to remember are for things I access via computer so I have a password mgmt app (KeePass). I have 2-3 other codes (door codes mainly) that I store in my head. Maybe I just don't have enough non-PC-based passwords to worry about? How many of you (oops I mean know someone) who actually write down passwords on a piece of paper?
