Never Lose A Password Due To Mommy Brain Again!
Posted April 17, 2008
If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to Mommy Daddy Blog. We wouldn’t want you to miss out on our updates or giveaways ;-)! Thanks for visiting!
The winner of this giveaway is announced at the bottom of this post.
When it comes to internet passwords, what are your methods for keeping track of them? Sometimes it’s easy to use the same password for each account that you own. At times that is impossible. Sometimes your password won’t pass the security requirements because of repetitive characters, not enough characters, or not enough numbers. The list goes on. How frustrating is that? I tend to get out of these battles by tossing x’s in various spots of my passwords, but then this makes them hard to remember…
Quite a few websites provide garbled passwords when you sign up for accounts that you are unable to change. As of now, I still haven’t figured out how to change my StumbleUpon password. For a while I kept clicking “forgot password”. The same went for my domain registrar accounts. I wrote these passwords down on scraps and sticky notes, but of course I kept losing them each time I cleaned up my workspace.
The Internet Password Organizer is a useful way to safely and securely store all of your passwords. 122 reinforced tabbed pages provide instant access to login credentials. Each page is set up kind of like an address book but provides space to record web page, username, password, and notes. I like to use my Internet Password Organizer primarily to record my domain registrar and hosting accounts as well as affiliate program logins. As of late I’ve been forgetting my usernames to accounts since some of my account usernames were also created randomly. So Internet Password Organizer has helped me out with remembering my usernames as well.
Towards the back of the Internet Password Organizer there’s a bonus section that provides space for writing down internet service provider and home network information as well as software license information and additional notes pertaining to your computer. It would have helped if I had this book when I set up my mother’s home wireless network a few years ago. I wrote the details down on a piece of paper and now I don’t remember the network password needed to login. The password is stored on my laptop but if I get a new laptop or someone else needed to use their laptop in her house, they won’t be able to since I forgot the password. Eventually I’m going to have to reconfigure everything and this time write the password down in my Internet Password Organizer.
Interested in what the inside of an Internet Password Organizer looks like? Take a look inside. As a safety precaution I suggest that Internet Password Organizer be locked up in the home office for safe keeping.
April is National Autism Awareness Month. In honor of National Autism Awareness Month, Innovention Lab, Inc. will be donating $1 to Autism Speaks for each Internet Password Organizer purchased from internetpasswordorganizer.com. For every thousand books sold Innovention Lab, Inc will also donate an additional $1,000.

That sounds all great and dandy, but what happens if you lose that organizer? Then some stranger has complete access to every account you had recorded. :-/
Tina Silva’s last blog post..10 Random Facts About Me
Tina, feel free to share your ideas for storing passwords.
OMG, I would benefit so much from this organizer. We have at computers and tons of passwords. At least 10 years of passwords!! There are my passwords, my hubby’s, and the kids. It is so hard for me to keep track of. And of course being “mommy” I need to keep up with everyone’s passwords. It is just not for sites I visit for fun but passwords for our bills since 99.9% of them are paid online. It is a great idea to have all the passwords in one centralized location.
1stopmom’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday
I’d love to win this! We have tons of passwords between the two of us and they keep growing every day with the million social networking sites that keep popping up on a daily basis! It’s hard to keep up! This would definitely help. And yes, of course, it’d have to be locked up in your home office or safe if you have one.
:crossing my fingers:
Modern Mami’s last blog post..My daughter’s a liar.
Have so many passwords that this will make things a breeze - won’t forget one again!
That book looks cool can we win it ?
Our accounts & passwords are written in an old raggedy, unattractive journal with pages falling out
But I do use various codes to keep our info safe:
This is one Example: #1234567 Atty. = Me=My evil cat
That means the account number for AT&T my login name BigKeisha9 and the password is 1muhammed1.
The code might look crazy but I want it to. My hope is that if a stranger came across the info (in my new sophisticated IPO that I won from the Mommy Daddy Blog ) they wouldn’t be able to figure it out.
P.S. I tried to teach my husband but he just wasn’t interested ; I told him he’s going to up a creek without a paddle if I die. But maybe he’d be inspired by a spiffy new Internet Password Organizer with 122 reinforced tabbed pages. Just a thought.
What a great idea and a nice cause for some proceeds to go to.
The organizer would benefit us so much, between me and Rodney and Lyric now going on the internet, we have so many passwords its hard to remember what is what and what websites actually have us signed up at with passwords.
The worst was when Rodney’s laptop got stolen, he had a lot of our ‘major’ passwords saved on that computer and we had to run around remember where and what passswords were for which websites and how many websites we were signed up at etc etc, something like this would have saved us a lot of worry and time because we could have just gone thru the list to change the passwords as needed.
Gina’s last blog post..SourPuss Clothing.
This is a great idea. Our passwords (or some of mine at least) are scribbled in an old notebook, but there are many that aren’t in there, or I forget to organize and write down. I would love a special place where the whole family could keep this stuff organized!
I definitely need one of these for all the sites I’m always logging into. Great giveaway, thanks!
Mary @ Adventures in Mommyland’s last blog post..Win Paperlicious Momager Calling Cards
Oh I really need this! I can’t keep them all straight and it drives me crazy!
Tara R’s last blog post..Art by Owen
When I was pregnant, I couldn’t remember anything, let alone the myriad of passwords for different sites. This would be so helpful!
Jean’s last blog post..3 in 24 hours
Greetings! I have the very problem you just discussed. Trying to keep my internet passwords, user name, etc. can drive me crazy if I let it!!!!! I jot them in different notepads, on a sticky note and then can’t find them when I can’t enter a site. Please enter me in your delightful drawing. I appreciate it. Thanks,Cindi
Knowing me, I’d probably leave the book at Starbucks or something. I have a pretty good system that works for me. I have 3 passwords. Level 1 is a password I use for low security stuff (social networks, etc.), level 2 is a password I use if there’s ever a chance of me sharing it (like a job-related login). Level 3 is a high security password that I use for accounts that are money related. With this method, I know there are only 3 possible passwords I could ever have.
BusyDad’s last blog post..W8 Loss Wednesday #2 - The Fury Diet
Between me and my husband, we have so many passwords that keeping track of or remembering them can be such a task! This would definitely make things easier!
Sheila’s last blog post..Courting Trouble (book)
With a family each with their own emails and websites they belong to ….this is a must! get rid of the post-its stuck to the computer!
It could get rid of us using simple passwords for most sites and organize the hard ones we always forget!!
I do alot of internet shopping and bill paying online and have many different accounts for “mommy” sites and this would be great for me cause sometimes I forget which pw I used.
Thanks
I hate to admit this (but I bet I’m not the only one)…most of my passwords are exactly the same. From online banking to apartmenttherapy.com - some variation, but basically the same. This book would help b/c I could change some without forgetting them!
For years I”ve used index cards and a file box. I list the website name at the top of the card and the sign in name and password below. I then file them alphabetically by website name. It’s a little archaic, but it works. This hand dandy book would actually bring me into this century for storing my vital web info. Count me in. Thanks!
Shane’s last blog post..“Your Defiant Teen”… a book review & giveaway
Our current system works well- we have a file on our computer where we save them- the file itsself is password protected. BUT, something like this would be good to have a hard copy of and keep in a safe.
This would benefit us so much. Both my fiance and I use the internet to do everything from checking email to banking and paying bills.
I can never remember what he has made the passwords for things, and vice versa.
Leslie’s last blog post..Saturday 9
I need one and so does my mom, I have so many passwords and thing to remember, and mom just forgets.
I have serious Mommy brain all of the time, and I’m not even pregnant anymore! I work part-time while the kids are in school, and then rush around home on the farm with my DH trying to keep things organized, and woops! happens all too often. I need this organizer, and would really enjoy being able to keep life a little more “together”.
P.S. I just found your blog today and I think y’all are doing a great job here!
Sound like a great idea. DH is always forgetting which password is which!
A few months ago my computer had to be repaired and I was on my dh’s computer. Guess what? I couldn’t get into half the places I normally go because I couldn’t remember the passwords and they were all on my computer. Boy could I use this book. I shudder to think what would have happened if the computer had died altogether. Yikes!
I am terrible with passwords so this would help out so much! I’ve been wanting one for so long. I have tried organizing passwords in a notebook but it gets so messy. Another reason I want is in case my husband ever needs to get into anything like banks, paypal, ebay, etc I would feel more secure knowing my family could get into my accounts if something ever happened.
Ginny’s last blog post..Blog Carnival: Review Bloggers 18th Edition
I need this due to a serious case of Momnesia!
OMG. I NEED THIS THING! There are so many internet sites that require logins…and I always have to click “forgot my password”….ALL the time. I hope I win!
We could benefit from by not wasting time trying to figure out passwords and instead hanging out with each other! Thanks!
wow.. i could REALLY use this… lol.. i tried to keep track with an excel program, but it’s too hard to keep track of me and DH… I have 3 kids… my 5 month old twins and a 35 yr old (DH)… I forget everything… 1/2 the time i can’t remeber if i brushed my teeth… lol.. let alone passwords..
I’m always forgetting my passwords and having to reset them. this would help alot.
When I win this I’ll be able to take down all the post it notes on my computer
I always have to create new accounts on websites because i can never remember my user name or password (especially on things that I don’t use very often). This would be great to have!!!
Wow, this would be great for my family! I love the fact that all of my family members’ usernames and passwords could be in one place. I wish I had this years ago! Would have saved a lot of trouble.
Oh hell yes I want one of those! Sign me up please!
Jenn’s last blog post..Don’t get hax0red!
This is great! Yes, it could be stolen but so can the computer with all the saved passwords on it!
I know I need one, as I am such a forgetful person. I am sure this is useful and helpful for everyone at home.
sherry’s last blog post..How to get rid of mosquitoes?
Please….please..please –the joy, the wonder of getting rid of my numberous speadsheets. To be able to consolidate mine and my husbands works systematically. The kids aren’t older enough yet, but the day is fast approaching
This would be much better than the random notebook I keep of passwords!
Jennifer/The Word Cellar’s last blog post..Saturday Sayings: Most pleasures
Well right now my internet password organizer consists of about a zillion post-it notes stuck everywhere so I could definitely use a more desirable organization system.
Bonita’s last blog post..Sewing Tips
We have sooooooooo many passwords. This will be great!!! Thanks!!
The Princess’s last blog post..A Fun Giveaway
this would be great!
i need some help. i just spent 15 minutes trying to remember my etsy login and pw!
krista’s last blog post..a big leap of growth in our faith
I’ve entered once before on a different giveaway cuz I really need this….I’m a teacher and mom of a tween with lots of passwords.
Help me stay organized!
I have so many logins and passwords to remember, this would come in so handy!!! What a great giveaway! Please count me in! Thanks!
Liz’s last blog post..Do you have a popular name?
Ohhh, I need one of these!! Our family would benefit from this because my husband wouldn’t have to ask me over and over (and over again) what the passwords for banking, or email, or webkinz (for our son, not us!) are. It would ease my frustrations!!
Sky’s last blog post..It’s a GIVEAWAY!!!
I so need something to keep track of my passwords.
I would be giving this to my mother. She is always loosing her passwords. It is funny at times, but also very frustrating. This would help her get them organized. Trying to get her to lock it up would be another task.
Nicol’s last blog post..Keep your fingers crossed!—Updated
Sign me up, please. Then I can stop doing the big no-no, using the same lame password over and over. Also stop forgetting what password I use to get into my Credit Report accounts!
This would be so helpful! I just started having my computer remember all my passwords for me because I kept forgetting which one went where. It’s an easy solution, but dangerous because anyone could access my accounts on my computer. :-/
Lydia’s last blog post..Bug Me Not
that would be great! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to change passwords on various sites because I can’t remember what my password is, or where I wrote it down.
Why did i not think of this??
Thanks, KAthy
I’ve reached the point at age 45 where I can’t possibly remember all my passwords, so I end up having them scribbled on bits of paper everywhere. It would, honestly, help my marriage to have a neat organized book of passwords. My husband often asks what a password is, and then I have to track it down…not fun.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to enter the drawing!
Elizabeth’s last blog post..With Half My Brain Tied Behind My Back
I have a home business and I have MANY online memberships to graphics sites and each one has a different login/password and it would be great to have them some place safe instead of trying to remember each and everyone. It would also help me to be more organized.
I would LOVE this! I would benefit from it because it would keep me soo much more organized…of course, a PLUS..but also because then I am more apt to use different passwords for different places and not similar ones…which prevents people from getting into my accounts.
Thanks so much for this chance!
Katy’s last blog post..Apple Pie Anyone???
I could do away with all of my index cards that have my passwords on them!
Shane’s last blog post..“Your Defiant Teen”… a book review & giveaway
I think this is a great idea! If my computer doesn’t remember my passwords for me, I am lost!!! Thanks so much for the giveaway!
An Internet Password Organizer would help us so much! I pay all our bills online and have so many different accounts that it’s hard to keep track of them all. This would make bill paying so much easier!
Oh, I so need this! I currently have 4 pages of handwritten notes to myself with passwords for all our online stuff!
Capturing Today’s last blog post..Bloggy Giveaway #2
I really need one of these! Such a good idea.
This is a great idea and giveaway. It would help me out alot since I’m always forgetting my passwords, with this it would save me lots of time instead of having to rejoin sites. Thank you.
If I don’t write it down, it won’t be remembered! it sounds like I need this
stampedwithgrace’s last blog post..Win on the Web!
I have FIbromyalgia so I have what we call “Fibro Fog,” I forget all kinds of things, I spend a lot of time standing in a room trying to remember why I went there. So this would be great for me!
Lisa’s last blog post..Happy Earth Day!!!
Our family has so many passwords that this would come in handy to keep it organized.
i would benifit by just being organized. between me and my husband we have 4 notebook pages of passwords. so this would benefit us both tremendously
brandy w’s last blog post..contests 4/23/08
Well, right now we don’t exactly have the most secure method of keeping track of passwords. They are all either very similar, or written onto a piece of paper. It would be nice to have them all organized. Right now, when my computer crashes and forgets who I am, it drives me crazy trying 12 different combinations of things until I find the one that works, and sometimes I just need to waste time resetting my password because I can’t remember it at all.
This would save so much time! And I wouldn’t have to create new email addresses because I can’t figure out passwords associated with old ones.
This would be amazing, I have so many passwords and never keep up with them at all.
I’m soooo tired of forgetting passwords! This would save me so much time when logging into random account that I don’t use often. Like the one at usps.com when I order stamps. I had a whole “situation” trying to find the password for that one!
We would benefit because I could stop setting up NEW ACCOUNTS because I’ve forgotten the password. Sheesh. Excellent idea!
Rocks In My Dryer’s last blog post..Hypothetically
Boy, could I use this! I’ve got years of passwords rattling around in my head (parenting sites, bill payment sites, you name it), and now that I’ve just gotten married, I’ll need to remember hubby’s passwords, too. My son is five, very computer literate, and will no doubt be reaching the age soon where he’ll have a squillion passwords to keep up with (and will expect that mama knows them when he forgets! LOL). I would love to win this, it would be a huge help.
Lisa’s last blog post..Pray hard!
I’m fairly organized, but I don’t have any such tool as this password & account organizer. If I win it, you can guarantee that it would go to good use. This would really help me keep straight all of hubby’s accounts and mine, especially the joint ones that we can never remember (such as bank info). Thanks for offering such a practical prize.
Oh, I can never remember my passwords! God forbid something happens to dh or I, it would be nice to have all passwords in the same place.
Annabelle’s last blog post..I have realized…
I keep making lists, and I keep losing the lists. A book would be so much easier for me to keep track of!
Rachel R.’s last blog post..Our Weekend
What a great idea. I would love to own this.
Snowbird’s last blog post..Wordless Wednesday–Ah, The Good Life
Sadly, if anything were to happen to me, my husband would be in trouble. I pay all of our bills online with the exception of two. He does not know the websites to make payments, or any of the password info. This would help solve that problem. Please include us in your giveaway.

I have so many different wesites that I use daily and most of them have different passwords. I really don’t know what I was thinking when I did that. I would love to win so I could stay organized.
Amanda Moore’s last blog post..East Texas travels
I have been looking for something like this!! I have too many passwords and website to remember. My husband always worries that something will happen to me and he won’t be able to access any information.
Cecile’s last blog post..Bloggy Giveaways
I can never find my passwords. It would sure save time to have them all in one place. Please enter me.
Pam
Between blogs, banking and everything in between this would be so helpful!
Tracee’s last blog post..Comfort Food (and a giveaway)
I would love this ! I have so much trouble trying to think of all my passwords for websites and the various online games my family members play. My husband needs a bunch of passwords to do online payments for our internet and phone bills plus his banking. I often have to type in a few passwords in until I happen to remember the right one.
I would actually give this to my dad. He has passwords stored all over the place with no real system. I’m audreyoka at cox.net
We have so many passwords and are forgetting them all the time. This would help my family stay more organized. Thanks!
We’ve had numerous monitors die on us over the past year, and we save our passwords on the computer only. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
It would definitely save me time. I’m always forgetting my passwords and have to constantly reset them.
kailani’s last blog post..Aloha Friday #29
I hate the sites that won’t let you pick your own generic easy to use password. I use the same password for everything unless it’s something like the bank or email, then I use a stronger random password that I’ve memorized. I hate when I register for a site and use my generic password like, for example, “hippo” and it says “too short” so I make it “hippo55″ then another site tells me “hippo55″ is too short so I have to make it “hippo555″ but it doesn’t like 3 5s so I have to do “hippo567.” Then some sites make you do a capital letter as well. So I have “Hippo567.” So when I visit the site again I’m sitting there typing in 10 different hippo passwords all ticked off wondering why I didn’t write it down! Gosh could I use this!
Please i need to get rid of all those post-it notes. We could recycle all that paper! thnx for a great giveaway
I would love to win this so I can keep track! Please enter me.

Tara R’s last blog post..It’s all about nothing really.
What a great idea! I’m thinking I could REALLY use this. My brain can only retain so much information, and we’re rapidly reaching overload. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am always forgetting my passwords, so this would be GREAT!!
Elizabeth’s last blog post..Friday night surprise
We would benefit because then my husband would know my passwords.
Gin’s last blog post..Limited Too Deals & Information
Yeah, I have so many passwords-I need this
I just put the passwords on post-it notes-how safe!
Oh my, I *really* need this. Not 10 minutes ago I was digging through my scrap papers trying to find where I wrote down my Google password, as my cookies had been reset. This would be a wonderful thing to have on hand!
This would be so helpful to get more organized and would save a lot of lost time looking for passwords. Thanks for the giveaway!
Chrysa’s last blog post..Freebie Friday - Free Stuff, Contests and Deals
Since i have a home business on the side we have about 100 passwords to keep track of, this would be great!
Dawn’s last blog post..Happy 1st Birthday Connor!
My husband and I were just talking last night about how much we need one….especially him, who uses a new password for EVERYTHING. Thank you!!
meg.wilson@gmail.com
Megret’s last blog post..What’s going on out there?
What a great idea! I have so many written on pieces of paper. And I mostly use the same ones but then they force you to make them longer or with numbers and then they are impossible to remember. What a great prize!
Shama-Lama Mama’s last blog post..Hawaiian Redux: Dive! Dive!
Mommy-brain. Yeah, that’s it. I think I need this item.
Thanks for hosting this great giveaway!
It seems like every web page I try to access requires that you sign up and create a paaword. Having this organizer would save me so much time and aggrivation. I feel like I am constantly hitting the “send me my password” link.
