Re: Obligatory aka incorrecthorsebatterystaple

Ok. So how do I use such a password manager on an iPad? More importantly, how do I get the user to remember it? Remember, iTunes requires a capital letter and a number.

So a lot of passwords becomes their name and date of birth.

I try to keep to 1 or two types of password. A lot of companies require slightly different requirements (one must be over 8 digits, one must be under), which gives me loads of variations and defeats the purpose.

I'm not sure I trust a password manager, though it would be really helpful. Is it cross compatible?

Finally, after all that I tend to just give up and click the "recover password" whenever I actually need to enter a password again. ;)
