Manage your passwords in a secure way
Norman A. Rubin
In these modern times numbers and words play an import role in our daily lives. Numbers are important as these numerals relate to us our telephone and cell phone number, our driving license and code number for the electronic device that opens the door to the office. Numbers are important in remembering our bank account number when you punch them at the ATM in order to get a bit of cash - no correct data, no money. And if you forget that you had renewed your credit card and punched in the wrong secret number, there will a long wait at line at the teller to cash a check. Numbers are important when you visit the land of red tape when conducting official business; A helpful clerk will greet you pleasantly and the ask, â File number please!â â then silence when you try to remember where you had written it down, most probably on a scrap of paper and jammed in your coat pocket. Words are equally important when used as passwords to our computer sites.
