And with new security standards sites are beginning to require passwords be changed every few months. What to do, besides keeping your passwords on Post-Its on your computer screen?

Today I share a tip about computer tools to help you keep track of your passwords. These are both on-line and off-line tools, much more secure than your yellow sticky. And the best part is, they're free!

I have a very clever method. I start with the number "1" and then add however many numbers the password prompts me for. So far, my longest password has been "12345678." Brilliant, no?
