Do any of you guys/gals know if it’s possible to change your Vision ID from the random “VS####” crap they give you, to something more easily remembered (like “iceco1d” etc.)?

  Thanks in advance!

It is my understanding that you cannot. 

  If your like me you log into 50 different websites with different formats on passwords so I just make a list and keep it handy.  Sounds safe doesn't it?

I’ve got a three-page document in Word with all my passwords…at least I password protected it. I wonder if the security dorks who decided long, complicated passwords (that have to be changed all the time) were a good idea, have any clue how insecure that mandate actually made computers.

I have it all on an Excel Spreadsheet

I wrote it all down on a tiny piece of scrap paper and taped it to the wall behind my toilet.  It’s very safe there.

This gets even better.  I put them all on the front page of my calendar that I carry around (just got a blackberry that I can't figure out so someday I will step up to this technology thing).  My assistant makes a copy of it so she has it all at her fingertips plus one of my partners has it so he can have access to some of the websites as he needs them.  Security....Are you kidding me.  I guess we have to have the utmost trust in our business partners. 

Joe, I do like the toilet idea.  I think I saw that on an old James bond movie.

I just remember mine. I use a variation of the same password. Seems having a good memory is a good thing. Now, my fiance might disagree with the previous statement.

Miss J,

  You have broken many hearts by throwing out the word "fiance".  Congratulations and remember it's not too late to change your mind.
