Ed, how do I check what my password is? (senior moment)

Ah yes, the infamous 'lemon, straw and corkscrew' thread!

Prudie......I remember it well.

You open up your secure password file, scroll down to where you have recorded info for "Answerbank", and read it off the "password" column.

Hi all,

To answer your question about staying logged in permanently there is no problem with it per se as long as you are not sharing your computer.

BUT if your computer goes off or you clear your cookies or something else happens and you get logged out do you know your password to get back in? :-)

This is one of the most common problems we experience with members having trouble logging in. I would go with OG's suggestion.

Dannyk13 I hope you have sorted your problem, please let me know if you need anything else :-)

For non important sites (no real loss of anything, financially or personally as to speak) such as AB just use a password that you won't forget or might give up whilst being tortured by the enemy. The truth serum works very well.

OG isn't going to like this but I really wouldn't suggest having a password protected file on your computer that holds all your passwords. You'd be better just putting it on a piece of paper and having it in your house somewhere - at least then the only way of someone gaining access to it is by entering your house. A password protected .doc file might as well not be password protected at all.

You can get password storage programmes that secure your data. Password protected Office files are most likely ok, but I suspect the programmes designed for the job are probably a better bet. Some are even open source so any possible defects can be spotted and corrected. If very cautious you could always keep the data on a flash drive or five secreted about your house.

I have my password written down as my memory would get me locked out of AB.
