Passwords

Rob, I have run across a situation that makes the present password scheme a bit of a PITA. I read the forum from work, from home on Windows, from home on Slackware Linux, and just now from home on MandrakeMove Linux. I have a cookie on Windows, but that doesn't help me when I'm on either Linux or my work computer. I guess I could write it down and then make sure I post from each location so that a cookie is placed on each computer. However, that isn't very practical. Especially since my employer doesn't like the idea of cookies, and I just installed Mandrake as a one time deal to help Al Getz out. So here I am connecting to the internet from Mandrake but I can't post. I guess I could have applied for a new password and had it emailed to me. Of course I don't have my email account set up on Mandrake, so I would have to browse over to my webmail to get the new password. Then after I posted from Mandrake I could start Windows back up, get my emailed password, post from there again to set the cookie and then post again from work to set the cookie there and hope my employer doesn't realize. If only I could make my own password that I had a snowball's chance of remembering. P.S. I seem to be a slow learner. For each paragraph above, I hit the tab key to indent. Needless to say, that didnt' work, it set focus to the Send Now button.
