Passwords

I have some specialty software that requires a password. When I forgot it, I phoned my developer for help - can he recover my password? No, not a chance. Anyway, he's built in a password so that he can help out in just such emergency - "poor memory!":doh:

I have just been reading on the Paypal terms and conditions an intructions on preventing identity fraud.
The instruction advises changing your password often with paypal!!!!!!!!!

So credit card and other systems should also carry this advice?

Looks to me, you have got to keep an index of passwords, because it would be impossible to keep track of all changes to your passwords.

This then makes nonsense of credit card companies stating you must not write pin numbers (read passwords) down.

So how can they enforce this rule on that senario?
