How many passwords did your grandmother need to know?
If there was ever an arguement for convincing your elders that you live in a more complex world than they grew up in then it has to be passwords. I figure I've got about the average number of passwords in reasonably frequent use in my life. This includes online banking (1), phone banking (2), my ATM card (3), my credit card (4), my internet service provider (5), various online accounts, Hotmail, eBay etc (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) and this blog (11).
I'm sure to have forgotten a few. How many did grandma have to recall? None I tell you! Unless she was a member of some secret sect, which I guess can't be ruled out, which required her to speak a password to enter the HQ.
Otherwise, none I tell you!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it Granny!
Then again....
