    most of the security questions are different; so have had to supply different answers to each question. No way can I memorise it all, so have had to write it down.

    How do others on this forum cope with all this information?

    Think outside the box. You don't have to give the correct answer to the security questions. Think of them more as extra passwords. :)

    Instead of remembering passwords I use a formula so using website data I can apply the formula and get the password for that account and security question combination.

    I'm very suspicious of eggmoneymamnager and similar. I know many people swear by them, but I distrust the idea of a 3rd party having access to my accounts

    They don't, the passwords are kept on your computer
    How are your details stored securely?
    When you activate Egg Money Manager, we'll show you how to download a piece of software called ActiveX which acts as a password safe, storing your other banks' log in details securely on your PC. This means your passwords with other banks are never shown to anyone at Egg. Remember, in the extremely unlikely event of fraud, you are covered by the Egg Guarantee.
