The trick is to make the childhood phone number, which likely no one else knows, your password.
That's no joke...my parents had the same phone number in the house where I was raised for 54 years. My IT department forces a password change every 4 weeks. How bloody secure can a system actually be when everybody in the place has to write their current password on a sticky note and tack it to their monitor?!?
My parents moved out of my childhood home 28 years ago. Their new home had a different number. I still remember the first, but not the 2nd. By the time they moved, I was using speed dial for all the numbers I called regularly. DH's parents still have the same number they've always had. I have to really think about it to remember their number, due to first using speed dial, then contacts, when calling them. I hear you on having to constantly change passwords. It annoys me to no end, when a site forces me to change mine. I have a hard enough time remembering them as it is.That's no joke...my parents had the same phone number in the house where I was raised for 54 years.

My childhood phone number is my mother's number, which at her age she knows it as well as the entire older population of town knows it, so everyone would have my password because they are all old and none of them have cellphones with their contacts,The trick is to make the childhood phone number, which likely no one else knows, your password.
We don't specifically do that, but every time you get a new PC or laptop, IT never fixes it so your password doesn't expire. It takes forever before you get them to fix that, my last password I started at xxxxxxxx01 and made it up to xxxxxxxx62 before they fixed it for me. That's over 5 years of me begging them to fix it. It took a retirement and a new hire to get it done.That's no joke...my parents had the same phone number in the house where I was raised for 54 years.

Then again, none of them likely have the will, much less the wherewithall to jailbreak into anything of yours.My childhood phone number is my mother's number, which at her age she knows it as well as the entire older population of town knows it, so everyone would have my password because they are all old and none of them have cellphones with their contacts,.
