There are a million and one passwords that I have. Bank accounts, Credit cards, Demat account, Trading account, Computers, Mobile Phone, Email, Social Networking sites, you name it… Sometimes multiple passwords for the same thing. For example, a bank account comes with an ATM PIN and a telephone PIN and an internet banking ID and a regular internet banking password and a transaction internet banking password; and then there’s your account number and your IFSC code and all that jazz!
Phew.. How much are you supposed to remember man! Programs like OpenID are trying to solve this but am not sure how widely used they will be. One often hears about biometric passwords but again such a setup hasn’t seen any ‘integrated’/networked commercial success yet to my knowledge. I’m sure it will happen some day but till that happens one will but need to create some sort of a register (paper or digital) to note all these numbers and passwords down I guess. Of course such a register comes with the BIG risk of theft. Guess it’s a trade-off between relying on your memory or your locker!
