Never Forget Your Passwords Again! Use This Simple Trick Now

It is a very simple trick. You don't have to be a techie or genius to learn it. You won't need to memorize your passwords again even if you have millions or billions of sites to register for or log in to access your account. In fact, there's no need to save your passwords in a secret place in your phone or notes. You won't need them again. Trust me.

Let's get started. Make sure nobody (or spy camera) is looking over your shoulders as you do this little exercise. Get a sheet of paper and pen or pencil and do the following steps:

1. Choose a name that is special to you and you will always remember. Don't pick your name or your spouse's name because it's easy to guess. It could be one of your mentors. For this post I choose 'Niguel' as my special name.

2. Choose a Number/Character pattern that appeals to you visually such as 2@2@, 9090, 1549, 8**8. I chose '2@2@'.

3. Combine your special name and Number/Character pattern in the order you like. My combination could be 'Niguel2@2@' or '2@2@Niguel'. I prefer 'Niguel2@2@'.

4. Memorize your combination. It should not be hard since you created it.

Now, whenever you go to register at any website that uses alphanumeric passwords, pick the domain name of that site and add it to your original pattern. Let's say we go to a website with the domain [http://www.seth.com]. Just pick the site name 'Seth' and add it to your combination. It could be 'sethNiguel2@2@' or 'Niguel2@2@seth'. Choose the order that you prefer.

If the site name is long such as [http://www.millionairesclub.com], you can pick the first letter of each of the words and add it to your combination. It could be 'Niguel2@2@mc' or 'mcNiguel2@2@'.

With this simple method, you don't need to cram your head with different multiple passwords which you will eventually forget (except you are a savant). Now, all you need is to look at the website name and it reminds you of your own password. Cool!

Save your brain power for more important tasks.

Apply this trick and do have a great day ahead.
