When you can remember your child hood home phone number , yet cannot remember the new password you created Thursday for online banking. Dammit I should put it my phone right away.

(1,772 posts)My husband brought me a fresh cup of coffee and I thanked him for it, forgetting I had asked him to make me the coffee 5 minutes earlier. The good news is we can have the same conversation over and over again. My daughter reminds me I have told her something already. My husband listens like it is the first time he has heard it, because in his mind it probably is the first time he has heard it.

(10,242 posts)Fortunately so far I found it again. I dont even remember anyones phone number to call and have them call my phone number so I can listen for the ring to track my phone. Last time I had to email a few people to try and call me. Fortunately that worked and I located it way down inside a stuffed armchair.

(2,154 posts)that you have to call the help desk a couple times a month to unlock your access because you make simple typos at a normal rate.

(115,836 posts)It might be that the phone number was the only thing you had to remember in those days (MIdway 6-8571), and it was short and easy to memorize, while we now have dozens of passwords which, at least if you've done it right, are long and meaningless, like your cat walked on your keyboard. In fact, the next time I'm asked to create a password I'll ask the cat to do it.
