Never Forget a Password Again with Norton Identity Safe
I save passwords all over. For a while, I was using the same “master” password for every account I had. Which I know is a terrible idea. Lately, I’ve had them written down here and there, a few are saved in my browser and a few are saved in my head. It’s so hard to keep up with all the many online social, business and personal accounts I have. Recently I was trying to login into an old MySpace account. I haven’t used MySpace in forever,
and I completely forgot my password. I couldn’t believe that I forgot something that use to be so important to me.
Thanks to Norton, I no longer have to worry about losing passwords or logins to the many sites I go to. I don’t have to create new logins if it’s been a while since my last login either, and I have no idea what the password might be. Norton takes care of all of that for me with the Norton Identity Safe Program.
This is a FREE and easy to download password management system for all your logins in all your internet accounts. You can import existing logins from the browsers you use. It’s compatible with Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. It’s also saves across devices and platforms, like your smart phone, laptop and tablet.
You can also save information and have the program fill out forms and save notes. You’ll never forget anything again, useless it’s the password for the application itself. Which by the way, is very important. If you forget it, there’s no way to retrieve it. So write it down, and put it in a safe deposit box or bury it in the backyard or something.
The application also has a safe web browsing feature. That way you’ll never have t o be afraid to fill out forms with personal information because Norton makes sure it’s safe for you. And there’s a safe search feature that will protect you from visiting bad sites that could damage your computer.
The feature I really love about this application is a button that allows you to easily share web pages on your social networks or by email. To read more about all the wonderful features of this application, click over here.
You can visit https://identitysafe.norton.com/ and download the program free today. There is a Windows and Mac version available too. But be sure to try out the program today. It’s only free until October 1, 2012.

at least once a week I’m changing passwords. Not because I’m weird and I’m afraid my account might get hacked, but because I ALWAYS forget the passwords. I, just like you, used the same password for almost all the account at one time. That was so easy to remember
I have & use Identity Safe and it has saved my bacon. I used to keep a small binder w/ all of my passwords–yikes! Talk about old school.

I’m just happy that I’m not alone….in not remembering and have to reset my passwords every month. I think I have at least 50 different accounts that require passwords and some that I don’t log-in often enough, I just have to re-set the passwords every single time. Quite frustrating when you are in a rush trying to get things done. This sounds like the perfect product for me.

Our kids school has a parent site where they send notice, the kids grades and report cards. I lost our password just recently and had to go to the school to have our password reset. What a pain.
Thanks so much.

I often forget my passwords as I’ve often heard it’s bad to have the same password for everything, so this sounds like it would work wonder’s and I can feel secure about keeping up with passwords.
I have a lot of problems remembering my password at work.

I’ve had some trouble in the past trying to remember passwords to websites that I had signed up to, unless I had wrote them down or made it something easy to remember if I visited them on a regular basis.
I forgot my password for my email account at work as we had to change it weekly and could not get email until Monday when tech support could be reached.
i usually keep a master list of passwords i have written down in a notebook in case my online lists goes missing but yesterday i tried to log into a site i use daily and could not for the life of me remember the password -and it was one of the rare ones i did not have written down so frustrating finally was able to get into the site
I forgot my password when I tried to access my email with my phone.

Forgetting passwords can be really annoying. I presently use Roboform and try to periodically back up my passes, but this setup from Norton seems to be pretty useful also. Great giveaway.
I need the help with passwords
I’ve been locked out of several website accounts for a few hours because of trying a bunch of different passwords.. not fun!
Almost every time I have to make an online credit card payment I have to reset password because I forget them and don’ t want to risk writing them down

I forget passwords constantly and is it ever annoying! You’d think I’d be better at remembering them since I was in tech support for more than 20 years and constantly chided people about being careless with passwords. I’m off to download this application right now. Can’t wait to try it out!

The Forgot Password link is kinda my BFF. The worst case of forgotten password was trying to show someone some pictures I had on my photo service on a computer that didn’t have the password magically saved. Five minutes later and 3 failed attempts, had to give up and say “uh, yea, I’ll just email them to you later, yea?” Pretty sad, lol.
After a small stroke to the inner ear and a lengthy hospitalization, I came home to a life quite different than before. Forgetton passwords made me realize that I better write down passwords in a day planner so that if faced with the same medical dilemma, I could find my passwords somewhere — now, if only I can remember where my day planner is.
I have a lot of passwords, and I usually remember them, but have occasionally tried to get into websites, but didn’t remember my password. In those cases, I’ve had to create new user accounts because my login has already been used (by me), but I can’t come up with the appropriate password without exceeding the allowed number of attempts, which leads to locked accounts. I put very cryptic reminders on the Notes app on my iPhone, but I always have to be very tuned into the references that I have noted.
Lately it seems like every single time I log into my bank’s website I need to reset my password. It’s incredibly frustrating. The worst is when I’m away from my “list” and can’t get into something I need.

This isn’t my story, but I was just talking to my mom about it last night. My grandfather passed away a month ago, and since then my grandmother has locked herself out of her online bank account no less than 10 times (he used to pay the bills and now she has to do it). Each time she locks herself out, she has to call the bank helpline to unlock her, and it takes them an hour to walk her through resetting it. It’s crazy.

I was always forgetting the passwords because we have several and were required to change them every six months but now they are permanent ones.
I am always forgetting my password, especially to PalPal. I try to use the same passwords (a no no I know) but some sites have crazy rules that just confuse me. I once tried to log into my hubby’s work sits ( I have his permission) and got him locked out…not good!

I use to always remember my password, but after a car wreck I forget quite often. It is frustrating.
I have my passwords to my important accounts saved on Roboform on my computer. Once my internet was out for several days and I had to use a friend’s comp to pay some bills. I had a hard time because I couldn’t remember all the passwords.

never forgot passwords
I rarely forget my password, but I do often forget the security question answers because I do not want them to be “easy”. The biggest mistake people make is making their password security questions answers similar to stuff they post online social networking sites.
I always used Roboform (a password/form filler) so when I lost my computer and got a new one a few years back. When I went to enter all my usual sites, I found that there were a couple that I had not saved the passwords for and on top of that, they were older sites I had visited for years and used a totally different email address for as well, I was never able to get back into one of those sites. Even with reregistering I could not get in because all the rest of my info was the same so it insisted I was already registered.

I’m constantly forgetting my passwords – websites these days are forcing you to create passwords with symbols and upper case and lower case and 10+ characters long… its ridiculous! Sure, it helps keep people out, but when that includes me, its unacceptable! I click on the “forgot password” link usually a few times per week for various sites. That’s got to change.
I lost my password to an online payment website. I had to call for a new one and wait days.

I tried to get into my paypal account a few weeks back and I had just forgotten my password. I tried and I tried but no luck. Had to reset. It is time consuming.
It’s a major process each time I clear the cookies on my computer. This clears out saved passwords and I am, once again, clicking ‘Forgot Password’ on each site I visit. This happens every few weeks too…
I’ve been lucky since a friend told me about Roboform about 10 years ago. It’s been keeping my login and passwords safe and handy for that long. It also generates passwords for new sites.
Thanks for the contest.

I’ve forgotten my password more times than I can count. I’ve been locked out, had to request a new password and on one occasion I had to set up a new account. This would certainly save me a few gray hairs.

I forget my password pretty often. I’ll try 2-3 different passwords and then have to give up. It wastes alot of time.
I try to make hard passwords but always forget them so have to click on the forgot password button. Then I tried to put them down in code to prompt my memory but that doesn’t work.
I am always losing my passwords so I can’t think of a specific event, but this would be great to have!
