This password syndrome
In
this technology driven era one has to have a sharp memory. If you cannot boast
with it your life is going to be a misery. You must be armed with innumerable
passwords if you want to withdraw your own money, if you must operate a
computer, if you need to be connected to a network, if you have to pay online,
in case you want to access your bank account, if one has to open a high tech
office door, the list is endless. The other day I read about a very cautious
mother who had instructed her nine year old school girl not to get into a
vehicle unless the driver reveals the password. If things go on such a scale
then I am afraid you have to have passwords for almost all day-to-day
transactions. Unable to remember so many of such kind I made a wise decision to
have only one all purpose password for everything. Somebody unearthed my
smartness and then required a combination of digits and letters and special
characters. Someone else wanted case specific passwords too. The burglars need
not loot the entire house. All they need to take away is a small diary in which
all these damned entries are carefully listed. In the morning you would be left
homeless. Some smart bankers insist that you change these passwords as often as
you can and thus make sure that you would soon be a pauper.
