• Memory Problem- Or how i learned to love the forgot password button and stop worrying

Ill just start this off with [b]I can't make a password without writing it down simultaneously as i enter it in.[/b] Sometimes i just sit there and wonder what the fuck is wrong with my brain. Lately i have had immense short term memory problems. It is getting so bad i am forgetting a password as soon as i hit enter to change it. I feel so helpless with this problem. For example, i just decided to change my world of warcraft and email password and now i forget what i just fucking made them. I remember about how many words it is, what i was thinking, what numbers i added, and the length. But for the fucking love of god i can't remember what it was. Now when i go to forget password it asks me for the name i signed up with and i enter my name, it tells me the email/name combo is incorrect. Another example, a few nights ago at a lan party [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=783380[/url] The fact that my friend later that night guessed the password with the parameters i gave him (i remembered it involved youare*something*at*something). Turned out he guessed it was youarecrapatlife. The password hint was "what you are", and it was directed towards my friends. This stuff happens all the time, not even with passwords, i just forget small things people tell me. Like orders or just planning. I feel like i got permanent brain damage because i spent a week getting blackout hammered for 7 nights in a row on vodka, whiskey, scotch, grappa, bols, you name it i drank it. It feels like my brain is all lubed up and the passwords just slip right out leaving behind a trail where i could guess around what it COULD be but i never get it. Are there any brain excersises i can do to remember stuff or at least to prevent forgetfullness? [img]http://ezpainttools.typepad.com/my_weblog/images/2007/08/28/frustrated_kid.jpg[/img]
This happens when I forget a password and am changing it to something random. Like, "I'll just make the password Megalulz2, I won't forget" .... 5 minutes later - "What the fuck did I make that again?"
Send your passwords to me i will remember them.
I actually think about my passwords before i enter them for at least a good minute.
Write your passwords on your left hand.
i always make my password a reversed username of the thing i am registering for
ur brain cant handle thinking so it resorts to going to facepunch
I've been diagnosed with having a short term memory problem, I usually forget things like phone numbers and instructions after a few mins unless I keep repeating them in my head.
I can Type my password on a keyboard, but i can't remember it. The same with my PIN number for my credit card. Really weird.

I always make my passwords the name of the sites. So for Neopets, my password would be neopets (example, I aint no neo-fag). Besides, theres always fire-fox password remembery.

I just use one password for everything
What do you eat for dinner? Do you like to eat at a fast food restaurant? I like to eat hamburgers at burger king. Il2ehb@bk Short, simple, and easy to remember. Just remember an easy to remember phrase, put it into initials, and complicate it.
Sucks for all of you with memory problems.

[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;16447501]What do you eat for dinner? Do you like to eat at a fast food restaurant? I like to eat hamburgers at burger king. Il2ehb@bk Short, simple, and easy to remember.[/QUOTE] Burger King tastes like shit.
I've used the same password for every single thing I've ever done. Probably not good.
[QUOTE=gamefreek76;16447585]Burger King tastes like shit.[/QUOTE] It's better than McDonald's. But nothing beats Taco Bell.
stop smoking pot and lay off the alchohol.
Just type out your password a dozen times or use a mnemonic and you shouldn't have any problems memorizing it. Also, you people have weak passwords. Try one of these: [url]https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm[/url]
