PIN NUMBERS too many!!!

[Deleted User]

How on earth do you people remember all the pin numbers? I have changed some to one number but take alliance and leicester they have
12 digit customer ID
5 digit customer pin
4 digit card pin
4 digit phone pin

Ahhh It is driving me bonkers.

Excel spreadsheet with password, and also stored on an encrypted virtual drive, I just copy and paste

Compulsory for all MSErs. Didn't Martin tell you?

Please keep up to speed .

The alternative is to convert all your cards to one PIN number.

Great until the person who takes all your cards discovers it.

Something like KeePass does a good job:

I use this freeware password manager - http://www.accessmanager.co.uk/

It's great becuase I have 2 current accounts, 1 savings account & 1 online ISA all with different IDs, questions and passwords.

I keep all those details on a PDA. But...I have a program where you cant switch it on normally, you have to hit a special key combination which was defined by me originaly. I keep all the passwords in a database that requires a password, and also has hidden records which need another password. Thats two passwords and a key combo - but, its very secure. If I was paranoid, I could also encypt the data.

I think its pretty secure, and even if you do forget something it is there somewhere.

Dates are easy to remember.
4 pin number? The year your mother or one of your children were born.

12 pin number? Combination of dates.

I don't use birthdays I use something else but, obviously, it's secret!

Too much risk.
