I know! It's totally overwhelming. I have to admit... I use the same username and password for many of my sites, just so don't have to remember. There are, however, a ton of great password management applications out there that you can install and they will act as a toolbar on your browser and help you manage your log ins.
If anyone has a password managment tool that they use and like... pass it on.

yeah, sometimes. I try and always use the same for most sites, but then there are the sites where you can't because you have to include a number, two numbers, a nonalphanumeric character, have to have it be a certain length, have to include your blood type and your firstborn, etc. Very frustrating!

Firefox has a "remember" option built into it and I use that for etsy, twitter, my biz email and other biz related sites. I also have a notebook that I use specifically for business related items. I picked it up at target on clearance, nothing fancy but it came with the dividers and some sheet protectors. I just write down my usernames and passwords so that way if I forget I can reference them. I'm SUPER organized when it comes to stuff like that, back when I still had a day job before the baby was born my cubicle at work was so organized it was crazy but I always knew where things were and all of my co-workers would give me crap for it, but people generally hate on what they envy

I use Robo form a lot. It will fill in your user name and password and then remember them for you.

Samesies. I try to use the same password and username combo for sites, but some won't allow it. I don't even try to remember them all. When I need to log into a site with a password or username that I can't remember I request that they send me my info and then I have a folder in my email account where I keep all the reminders.

Thanks for the ideas everyone! I may just keep them in 2 places: notebook and emails.

This is all so over my head, I still can't figure out how to get my avatar up.

I've created a seperate folder in my email for all my signup information.. that way if I ever forget one I'll know where to go check.
Other than that, I'm sure it's horrible, but I use the same info for most of my sign-ups. Easier to remember, but I'm sure one day my account will get hacked and I'll be screwed. That's the luck I have, it seems

On my work computer I have saved a 4 page, single spaced, 12 font document, that is nothing but a list of my logins and passwords for all the sites I have to use. Must be a couple hundred. It is ridiculous. As soon as I register in a new spot I immediately copy paste them in or I will forget! When I am at home I email myself so I will remember to paste them in when I get back to work. I try to use the same or similar passwords but every site has some different requirement. What a pain!
