Do you write down your passwords, or remember them by memory?

Memory.
This has caused many problems though. There are many times when I end up flicking through all the passwords I can remember ever using if I can't remember which one goes where.
Then you have all that "you have entered the wrong password too many times, the account has been disabled for 45 minuites"
Bleeeh.
This happens to me quite often when I visit someplace that I haven't been in ages -- and it's frustrating to go thru all the trouble only to be turned away. 🤢
But for the most part I have 4 different passwords with 3 different variations on each.
I remember it. I only used one password for most of my accounts, though I change it every year or so. xD.

I remember them; I have 2 main usernames and 3 passwords that I use. If one combo doesn't work, I'll try another.

Most of my accounts have one universal password, but in total, there are just three different passwords I have to remember. My email password, obviously, is the most secure. It's 32 characters, but I've had it for 4 years already so I know it well enough to type it with my eyes closed. 😀

By memory.
Because each and everyone of them is different but they're all interconnected to each other as well. 😛

I tend to only circulate between 3 passwords since they're easy to figure out for me. I never write anything down since I'll probably lose them anyway.
You're kind of the only person that I love and I promise that it'll stay that way. But are our feelings mutual?

I have 5 or 6 parts which i mix to make my passwords... and i have over 20 diferent accounts so its a pain to remember which one to use when i want to log on in accounts i dont use much 😛 ... but after a lot so tries i always get them ^^, but i must say... changing them each month is a pain in the butt but well... after 6 years i havent been hacked nor in wow or e-mail...

Memory for me too. I only ever use three passwords, though.
The same applies to usernames for me.

memory. i use words i can easily memorize but others will never guess
if there are numbers given as PIN i make a song to memorize it (the song doesn´t have to contain the numbers, but often the order they are in like "first the big than the small")

I memorize them. Or at least I try to.
I did two password resets today after trying to login to accounts I hadn't accessed in a long time. One time I got shut out from my bank account after too many failed login attempts.=/
I have four secure passwords that I change every year. For the trivial accounts I use variations of the same two passwords.

memory.
actually my password is the name of the site ciphered according to certain rules. so basically all i have to remember are the rules themselves.

I write all my passwords down, but then since I use them so much I don't really look at what I wrote down .. 😃 It's mainly just in case I don't go on a site for a while and then I forget soo yeah ..
My passwords are usually really random to ... I don't think I ever use the same password for anything .. they are just little things that I think of at the time that no one in their right mind would ever guess XD

Write them down until your hands can type them without your brain getting in the way, then eat the paper. Keep a master password list encrypted with the one you know best.
You can remember 30 character random passwords that way.
I remember them. I use the same password for everything, even though that's not very safe.

memory.
i've been using one password for all my accounts. if i can't use it in a site, i make a new one and change the pw in all the others. now i'm using two pw, one for personal matters and the other for my otaku-ness. 😀
