I wonder if you have any tips for us. The challenge, of course, is to balance privacy/security with convenience. The other day a colleague suggested typing an ID and password -- for Web sites which don't have financial or other important personal information -- in the name of the Web site on the "bookmark" or "favorite" in your browser. (Of course, don't also use the password for another Web site which does require a secure password.) Do others here do this, and does it help? What other tips do you have for remembering IDs and passwords? David David J.
