20 Passwords a Week?

I decided to try to count how many different passwords I use regularly. No reason, just curious. Here’s what I came up with, though I keep feeling like I’m forgetting some.

Used at Least Once a Day:

• Home main computer login
• Work computer login
• Work e-mail login
• Blackberry unlock password
• Laptop full-disk encryption login
• Laptop user login
• Gmail login
• Home Linux machine login (for remote control of my home machine via Remote Desktop over SSH while I’m at work)
• Firefox master password to decrypt the saved passwords

Used About Once a Week:

• Other e-mail account logins (probably about 5 or 6that I check once a week or more)
• ATM PIN
• Home phone voicemail password
• Cell phone voicemail password
• Bank site login
• Web host login

Now, these don’t count all of the passwords saved in Firefox for various web sites. That would get a little ridiculous. The web sites listed are ones I don’t save the password to, just for added security.

So that comes out to about 20 memorized passwords that are used at least once a week. Welcome to 2008. Hope you don’t have any Alzheimer’s. Wonder how many it’ll be in another 20 years.
