Is that a quote from Confucius of the Cosmos?  lol. :<)

Hi Ralph,

If a password manager should somehow get hacked, it would create a panic-stricken quagmire of contacting Internet accounts to bring about a new set of login keys (user names and passwords). I prefer to keep my passwords on paper and reference them visually, as needed. I make sure that they meet the criteria of sufficient complexity to provide a reasonable amount of security. If this is old-fashioned nonsense, please explain why.

As an afterthought, if your computer crashes and no backup can be restored, the data is gone forever. How do you identify yourself at the various Internet sites that you use passwords to access, so you can reset your login information?

Thanks for inquiring about this.
