Re: Security procedure question

Hi,

I dont believe this would ever work as a piece of paper is still a piece of paper.
It has no value in the modern world, but maybe if you wrote the passwords on $1000 bill maybe then.

Ive lost three credit cards so far as well!!!!

Hi all,

I remember reading somewhere that one practice for having strong passwords
was to allow the users to write them down but treat the paper on which they
were written like a credit card. If I remember correctly, the argument went
that since people don't leave credit cards lying around, they would not
leave their passwords lying around either.

Has anyone tried this approach?
