Looks like I'll have to come up with a new system of password creation. Every 3 months, a dozen accounts demand that I change the password. I can't remember that many changes. So I have to enter them into a database that I created. The database is also "locked" with a password, and not loaded into the cloud or available on the internet at all. It's on a microchip and a thumb drive. But it stores around 120 accounts for stores, credit card info, library card, drivers license number, medical insurance group number, etc. And those rewards programs that giver you discounts if you enter your phone number and password when you buy something at a store.

I'll look tomorrow and spend a couple of hours re-creating my system. It's easy enough for me to remember them all as long as I stick with my system.
