in order to h ave accounts online you have to have email account. what I do is put a file in my email account for passwords and confirmations. I write an email to myself what the account is and what the password that goes with that account is. that way any time I forget my password because of my meds and such I just visit my email account.

my emoail account is something that I never forget...

obnoxious things like I brush my teeth every day or I watch the same tv show every day...

something that is part of my every day life.

i also tell at least one person what my password and account is (example my wife knows) that way when i forget some one else knows.

my suggestion is think about your life and what is that one thing you do every day (everyone has that one habit, hobby or behavior or routine that they do every single day) make your passwords something to do with that.

maybe go online during the same time every day so that that will jog your memory.
