Hi :)
Copy&paste?  Store in a file tucked away somewhere safely but with a name that is NOT something like 
"List of passwords.txt".  Something that seems to fit in with other files in the same folder but that 
sticks out to you as being odd. 
Regards from
Tom :) 

for this particular case, use the last letters of your names (or a friend's or lover's names), a year when you met your favorite honey, and your favorite letter of the alphabet.

the codes for my passwords are stored in a file I keep at various spots but in addition I sometimes encrypt it.

I say 'codes' because I have certain elements which I combine to make different passwords and I have names for these elements which are only meaningful to me. so 'new-count' means a certain four-digit number I know and 'old-count' is another, thus my password file may contain. 'newcount + oldcount'.

obviously this is just some kind of redundancy and if you cannot remember your codes, you have to file them away too but perhaps on paper in a desk-drawer or something.

just got a bankcard for a bank in Germany; nothing to do but to note it down somewhere.

1 lower case letter, 1 upper case letter, a number, white space and a
misc symbol, a second additional point for having it over 30 characters
and don't include any section of your name, or password or email address
or if it matches a word from the English dictionary.

Hows an over 50 supposed to remember a password like that!!

Hmmm...

I just tried going to that site and got this:

"This Connection is Untrusted

You have asked Firefox to connectsecurely to www.cacert.org, but we can't
confirm that your connection is secure.

Normally, when you try to connect securely, sites will present trusted
identification
to prove that you are going to the right place. However, this site's
identity can't be
verified.



What Should I Do?

If you usually connect to this site without problems, this error could
mean that
someone is trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue."

Not good for a certificate site.
