While you're getting advice, ditch Norton.

You can feel free to use mine. I have seen a lot of people use the same, but sometimes with a different length. What's great about it is that even if someone shoulder surfs they will never guess.

My Password is ********

You can just draw a picture with 8 stars in the sky and you will always remember. Put it on a post-it note near your computer.

Rarely, a site requires you to use regular letters, numbers, and special characters in your password.

I use MyPassWordisEightStars********

Or else just use LastPass. Make sure the above is your main password though so your heirs can get access.

Agree, I really like Lastpass. Free, easy to understand, works well, the service is reliable. The paid version will support smartphone passwords but I haven't done that yet. I avoid keeping financial passwords or google in Lastpass out of caution since that unlocks so much. But things like this site, Lastpass is perfect for it.

What if I don't want my heir to have access?
