1/ Lots.

2/ Hardly any of them.

I write them down into a Word document, then encrypt it. Means I can
bring them up at any time, but no-one else can.

I have lots and other important details. Like Kat, Important ones I have them in a word document that is encrypted and password protected. I store this file in several places and including sent to my self in an email just in case. Sent a copy to wife just in case I die.

So worst case is..... I have to remember one, the password of my word document.

Clever! So IF somebody ever hacks into your computer they just need to look for a file called "PASSWORDS". Grin

PS the Cops can do "encrypt", even if your kids and wife can't. Wink

Why on earth would I create a complex password? I certainly use a different password here than I do for, say, my Bank. I write them down (except for the Bank one as that is a no no). Wink

Ditto, Cods. I do have lots of email friends around the World, but it is mostly chit-chat .... ASIO would be devastated if they grabbed my computer (laptop, mobile phone, tablet and so forth) since there is absolutely nothing here. Tongue
