    Let’s Play Password!

    Passwords are an awful fact of modern life.  You need passwords for everything.  Log into Amazon?  Password.  Email?  Password.  Post to your well-loved electronics blog?  Password.  Everything and everywhere (even pizza ordering!) requires you to have a password.

    I’m about out of password ideas.  Fortunately, Macworld has some password tips, just in time to aid me in my hour of need.  For example, you can always lean on a password manager if you’re like me and can’t remember what password you made for which password slot.  This is why my next laptop is going to have one of those thumbprint identification pads on it.  I can forget passwords all day long, but odds are I won’t forget my thumbs.

    At least I hope I won’t forget my thumb!
