calfoxwc Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 worked ! had to go find my password list again... It's really tough to win, especially more than once. The year Dad and I won, he made nearly all the picks. The next year, I changed 3 of his picks, lol, and.... all three lost, or we would have won, or almost won. Now, It's just me, and my picks still suck. dammit. LOL It is NOT easy. Even the "experts" get them wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I use the LastPass password manager with a boatload of sites and passwords in it.....saves a ton of work and trying to remember or find where you wrote passwords and other important things down.

I don't trust anything like that online. I just stick to my list. which I keep losing different places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 I usually invent a password related to the topic: for example, for American football I could use "Steelerssuck" then I tweak it with numbers and signs "5t33l3r55uck!!!". Not a perfect method, but having it related to whatever you're up to triggers your memory. EDIT: I use different languages, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just stick to my list. which I keep losing different places. It's encrypted and I have a big master password to get in but I've been using it for many, many years now and I love it. Just click on and if you want it logs you in. I also use my tricks and references when creating passwords and ALWAYS have a reference to the year in it for my "time to update" flag. Makes updating passwords a whole lot easier, I update individual passwords every year or two..... important ones at least yearly. I do backup passwords in a master steno pad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Password managers from PC Mag, some basic ones are FREE but I use LastPass premium because I can use it in all of my laptop, tablets, phones......never be without access to all of your sites.

mjp28 Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Well after the first weekend of 9 games and Kent State's dramatic win with the MAC now 2-0, Tour looks like he was shot out of a cannon.

Tour looks like he was shot out of a cannon. 3 for 3 picking dogs... 3 for 5 running with favs... go figure. The two misses sent 58 points down the drain, but App St. delivered 41.
