Davie...CONGRATULATIONS! You've nailed the single most annoying thing about our computer/internet world. We're also told NOT to use the same password for every site or program we use. The result is, there is no way for even the users to ever know or remember their own passwords. About 20 years ago, I told my wife that the internet would destroy the world. It's succeeded in making me right.

Back around 2003, I worked Help Desk at GSA helping purchasing agents find were there orders stood and checking their account balances and such. I had a password for Fedex, UPS, Mastercard, VISA, GSA cataloge, my own password to logon to my terminal and one for GSA access. Some how I was able to remember them. I doubt I could do it now days.
