You now have to make a login or a profile for most websites, restaurants and booking sites.
Whether that’s the pint in lockdown or your email address, you likely have multiple logins. The average person in the UK has between 70 to 80 passwords in their lifetime, so why so many?
Remembering your passwords is essential. Firstly, it’s a pain if you forget it. But more importantly, your data is private and could fall into the wrong hands. So we find ourselves finding the balance between having a variety of passwords and trying to cram them into our memory.
No, this doesn’t mean write down every login you’ve ever had on paper and throw it in a safe. Start by listing the service name, e.g. Roqqett and then mark which email address the account is connected with. You could choose to create a hint for both username and password; it's up to you. Here’s a suggestion for the hint sheet.

Having 70 to 80 passwords, it’s almost impossible to remember them all. If you can, maybe you’ve tried the points above, or you could have weak passwords. Most password managers offer a free browser add on, to automatically save or fill passwords. All you need is one master password, which is different from your others! Most sites offer free and paid options, and they can even include benefits like sharing folders of passwords with family members!

6. Sunshine
7. Arsenal
8. Chelsea
