Draft short version of thread creating entirely on topic of passwords
Preface reading explaining this thread
Dear users reading:
The idea occurred to me that one of the best things to do for myself would be actually split up the thread I originally wrote about passwords in to two , i.e. the longer one with extra details posted in off topic group forum section, give hyper link ,in short version also for those interested - in order to keep and follow to the rules of forum, to keep the discussion GTD focused.
Then post a short version in the main GTD thread section: [which will try to upload edit in ASAP afterwards HERE NOW - [https://forum.gettingthingsdone.com...anagement-trying-to-balance-meditation.18695/] ]
GTD short version post about passwords
‘I have it in real life -
When I last had what felt like was problem with my password system, I left a note in real life, meaning to create some post about it [In heigh n sight now
And - thought Twice that wrote it in asana, but not sure that I can actually find reference it anymore
Basically myself Tim started using a new password system Since a point in time where I was writing in E-mail to a person called Daniel F in 2023 February , (who also completed chelation proctors, but that's for another story not on this topic, for long version of this post)
I wrote a reply - where I mentioned if had idea for keeping passwords :
“Do you have any recommendations for a system of keeping passwords use for technological devices?
For keeping track of banking?
He replied:"
I have a system for passwords. I have a base word, plus a number that's always the same, then I add in the name of the company involved at the end.
For example assume my base word is : Superbanana
Base number 7
Company name: amazon
Therefore password for amazon is : Superbanana7amazon
If was my bank it would be : Superbanana7santander
If was Argos it would be: Superbanana7argos
Note: one of the letters needs to be a capital letter, so I just use the first S as my capital letter.
Note: sometime they need a special character too: so I add # at the end.
There are various apps on iPhone and my laptop, but I generally use my system as it’s easily rememberable.
Any variation of the above will be fine: just remember your base number word or words.
Superbanana is not my base word
)))
I used to have terrible short term memory issues, thats why I kept a journal."
And since I - saw the e-mail with danny, saw his replies - myself Tim actually used in real life a type of red note book “I will also show a picture off”
- where basically would document or track all passwords using for everything digital in my life in a certain format, in a templated way (with the date)
# * *1 in heighn sight - now I actually think to myself - I may have already had idea maybe 6 to 12 months ago to make a new password system (when wrote with the highlighter maybe I should digitalize) and I left a poll down below - do you think that would be best option?
Purpose of this thread had multiple things :
1 - in a practical service to myself to make a new password system for myself (in order to remove the negatives of previous system I was following (of wasted time having to reoccurring a certain amount of times - use the red book to check back more than I need
Or 2 literally not being able to read the original writing data I documented tracked in book (from using bad handwriting continually in the book
And V says - I will also try share picture of idea I started maybe one to two weeks ago - where I just thought to myself because ‘this red book’ is not best illegible anymore, just going try something different actually and put new data - all together in a type of opaque wallet from single pieces paper using a book… but this was not a permanent solution to the problem.
Then a third purpose of this thread would also be : feel I’m unsure what do do with my red book
With the problem I have : where because a certain X amount of the writing is not fully eligible - means.
‘I have certain writing in the book passwords maybe want to keep (and think to myself -its probably not best that I keep this red book - can other users confirm this?)
So only solutions to this would be stuff such as: write out new passwords in a new note book (like in something 2 mins a day , could implement - while waiting for other users to suggest other ideas).
The above paragraph was written before # * *1 - where - I had idea in my head tell me best thing to do is probably just try to make the entire new version digital to start with
P.S. for myself- maybe help if I added a picture showing an example - of how the note book looks keeping out the text details? (with messy writing I was using, or exactly flaws in previous system I was using)

Do version short (focused entirely of topic of password) and Long (with added Danny info
Or keywords security , safety
Digital security
In world of censor ship or government type data tracking
