LOGIN\PASSWORD Change Please

Post by paulco »

Hi everybody.

I am hopefully looking to change My Login Name & Password details so I can use the same Details for varying Sites that I use please.

Over the Years I have had to have various Login Names & Password Details for various Sites and it's now starting to get a little Confusing.

Many thanks

Paul.

Hi Paul, yes it is a bind to have many log in names and passwords but I keep all mine on a sheet of paper on a shelf below my keyboard, that
way if any hackers did get a hold of one, they would get to them all.
Even now if I get a e-mail in my normal inbox to use the link supplied to access my Bank or Paypal accounts so I don't use them as who knows
where they are from, usually they are bogus and wanting to get my details.

Hi Paul,

I wouldn't recommend using the same username/password combination for all sites for security reasons.

You can change your password for UKTS by logging in at:
http://www.uktrainsim.com/common/updateuser.php

but I doubt you'll be able to change your username.

There are password manager programs out there that allow you to store the various combinations within so that you only need to remember the login for the password manager.

Also most sites allow you to "remember" your username/password - I certainly can't remember the last time I actively had to type my password in on UKTS!
