A computer expert / financial advisor was giving advice on a news show the other morning. One thing he commented on caught my attention. It had to do with keeping passwords secure. I know you've all heard the advice about not using the same password for all your accounts and the admonition to change your passwords frequently. I don't know about you but I don't even try to memorize all of my passwords. I write them down. The expert said that he used to laugh at his mother for writing down her passwords in a little notebook, but the more he thought about it, the more he realized that passwords written down on paper, left somewhere in your home were probably much more secure than passwords entered on your phone or tablet or any other devise you carry around with you. And the chance of someone breaking into your house and finding your list is far less likely than the chance of someone hacking your computer or phone and getting the information. That makes a lot of sense to me. Now if I can just remember where I put my list.
