Just curious if Yahoo's account client stores password info on my computer in its cookies somewhere. I thought that "remember me on this computer" should do this. Same situation as above, maybe hacked, maybe I'm stupid.

The answers for forgotten password, secret question and alternative email address are very negative: can't anyone give a positive answer - surely there must be a way to recover ones account? Here's hoping...

I can generally guess, I use a master word that I can remember, with, should it require it, some numbers after it. If I know when I set up the account, I can know approximately which word I was using at the time. I also don't have anything important on a password-accessed service.

Many of us have 2 computers. My alternate is an IBM Thinkpad with Win98 on it. Perfectly capable of building and accessing DOS (remember DOS?) files for general record-keeping... such as login names, passwords, URL instructions, etc. There is no need for modems or internet connections because it's so slow I'd grow moss on my north side waiting for a connection.

My laptop sits off to one side on my desk next to the keyboard and screen for my primary computer. Any time I run across a need for a new password, login name, or anything else I need for today, won't need for tomorrow, but might need months down the pike, it goes on the laptop. It gives me all the advantages of a computer search without the danger of putting sensitive information online for thieves' prying eyes.

Using the same passwords works most of the time but, there's a big risk involved in that. If someone is able to guess that out you've ruined your life. You've just given him access to everything :) Stay Safe use different passwords.

i never forget my password to anywhere. in a pigs eye. lol thats why i use the same one for everywhere. if they say i cant do it just with letters i just put a 1 after it. that way if i get a not a good pass i just remember, oh yeah, and put the 1 in. works for me. lol

I'm not going to take comments on this article. Past experience shows that the majority of comments would simply be - you guessed it - requests for me to recover passwords.
