At Pro Epic we use a lot of on-line accounts. Web sites, hosting accounts, FTP accounts, merchant accounts, software vendors; the list seems to go on forever. Managing all of those user names, passwords and challenge/responses became a huge task.
At first, like most people, we used one or two passwords and user names for everything. The problem with that tactic should be obvious to everyone. If one of your passwords is compromised, it places a number of our accounts at immediate risk. Security experts recommend using unique user-name/password pairs and changing your password every few months. That is a tall order for someone who doesn't go a whole day without losing their glasses and can't remember what they had for lunch yesterday.
