Your "Credentials"

WDID? (What do I do?)

I have a good secure BASE password. Lets say it is H@rRy_P0tt3r#07 Looks secure right Harry Potter #7 if you look close enough. Easy to remember.
When I need to to change it all I change is the number at the end!

If you want to make it different for each website or location as they say all password should different I just put a clue or initials at the end of the password.
For instances;

Google password could be - H@rRy_P0tt3r#07go
Venmo - password could be - H@rRy_P0tt3r#07ve
Yahoo - password could be - H@rRy_P0tt3r#07ya

...And sometimes I still forget and have to reset it also.
I also personally have enough Accounts and passwords that I keep a spreadsheet of them all!. And yes, that Excel Spreadsheet is passworded!

Update. I had to start using a manager and now use LastPass.. to keep track of them all. Highly recommended!
