I've been hacked. Don't click the link in any e-mail you received from me today.

I'm about to run out of rememberable passwords! I may have to come up with something off the wall...

What a pain!
I didn't open the link - had an idea that it wasn't something that you sent.


All of my passwords look like computer jibberish now... I have to keep them written down on
index cards. I keep them in a large greeting card envelope - I stuck a Velcro circle on the
envelope tab for reuse.
Hopefully, I won't lose the envelope or I'm up a creek. Smile

I have my various passwords to various sites in a little spiral ring notebook. If I ever lose it...my electronic life will be ruined! I think I'd #1 call the bank and credit card company, then #2 give up on computers.

I used to use a spiral notebook but had to spend a lot of time thumbing through to find the proper information. I converted to a recipe file box with alphabetic dividers, now I can find everything. My kids know where it is. Hopefully they will tell my BB friends and e-mail friends when I start wearing a halo and wings. (Maybe I need to mark the cards so they know who to notify)

Big Grin I'm just a tiny bit obsessive. Big Grin

My spiral is somewhat alphabetized. At least all sites beginning with A, etc. are on the same two-three pages.

I bought a small roladex (pretty pink!) and use business cards with my places and passwords on them, easy to change and replace when I need to change something!!! It is amazing how many sites and pass words I have aquired over the years!!

What a pain! It happens all the time and eventually to everyone. We all need to be vigilant about watching our emails and not opening items which seem out of order.


Happy Stitching...Lois
