PLEASE ENTER YOUR PASSWORD “DANG GINA! What is the password for this site? I remember making something up the last time I printed yogurt coupons. I’m pretty sure I was listening to that Justin Bieber song and thought it would be funny for my password to be Baby!Baby!Baby!YO!”
INCORRECT PASSWORD. PLEASE TRY AGAIN.
“Crap. Maybe I did it without the exclamation marks.”
INCORRECT PASSWORD. PLEASE TRY AGAIN.
“That was stupid of me. It’s not like my computer even appreciates my hilarious sense of humor. I give in. I’ll just click “I forgot my password and have the stupid thing emailed to me.”
PLEASE TYPE THE NAME OF YOUR CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND. “Marcia.”
THAT IS NOT THE CORRECT PASSWORD HINT. PLEASE TYPE THE NAME OF YOUR CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND. “Valerie?”

THAT IS NOT THE CORRECT PASSWORD HINT. PLEASE TYPE THE NAME OF YOUR CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND. “I don’t know! I was a very fickle child. I called a lot of people my BFF. At one point I had six different friendship bracelets with one half of a BFF heart hanging from them. Probably people liked me for my killer sense of humor, which this computer TOTALLY DOES NOT APPRECIATE!”

This is a typical scenario in my house. Because people are always telling you that you shouldn’t use the same password for every website but I don’t have enough room in my head to store all of those passwords + all of the other important information in my life, like how many calories are in a slice of Scarlette’s sweet potato french toast or the names of all the characters in the Baby Sitter’s Club books. I have my priorities.
I asked to do this review because I was hoping that using Norton Identity Safe would change my life. Or at least seriously streamline my couponing efforts. Norton Identity Safe stores all of your passwords in a “vault” behind a master password. You can open and close the vault at will on your toolbar. And you can set higher security for some sites than others- so you can choose for it to autofill your email login for you OR you can choose to have to input your vault password before you it autofills your bank password. It keeps all of your frequently visited sites in one place but it’s really nice for those sites you DON’T visit often.
Like how I need a login for the millions of brand sites I visit to download coupons from.
I didn’t test out the feature that stores credit card info, etc. simply because we don’t do online banking. But my favorite part of the software is the NOTES feature. If I visit a site, I can click on “NOTE” and write a little bit about the site. This is great because sometimes I save things to my bookmarks but can’t remember why. So I can glance at the notes section and remember what it was I saved it for. I don’t want to use Pinterest for everything- like my couponing sites so this is a nice alternative.

That’s right, I spend my free time scouring the web for ways to trick my child into eating. And also window-shopping at Anthropologie. And sometimes reading celebrity gossip blogs but don’t tell my husband that.
*ETA 7/23* I’ve been using this software for about a month now and I really, really love it. I only have to remember one master password and then it remembers all of the other passwords for me and puts them in after I’ve typed in my master password. It is fan-flippin’-tastic for me.

About Kayla Aimee
I sooooo need a password vault!
Just this past week I was entering a giveaway using rafflecopter. At least I think that’s the name of it. So it asked me to fill in two blanks. First my name, next my email address. Being in a rush AND not paying attention, in the 1st blank I typed in my email. Can you guess what I typed in the 2nd block? Out of habit, I typed in the password I generally use for most websites that ask for one. Yup…before I realized it, it was too late to go back & change it. Sigh… I felt/still feel so exposed. Total brain fart there. Happy 4th!
I work as a Government contractor. I have to remember a ton of passwords because we can’t write any of them down due to the sensitive nature of where we work. Some of them have to have 15 characters with letters, numbers and special characters, a Capital letter in them. And then they expect us to remember them when we don’t have to use it every day. I set up a brand new account on one site, didn’t go back to it for a month then when I went back couldn’t remember that long password I set up and had to call the site administrator to get a new one set up. Now how am I going to remember that one next time? I’ll never tell!
I’m with the poster above–I have a government e-mail address that requires an insane password. I, of course, forgot it, and now can’t open said e-mail, and since I’m like 50 time zones away from the helpdesk, I have yet to remember to call when they’re open and I’m awake (about an hour window each day)! So, yes, I could *TOTALLY* use this!
My husband set up a mini vault for all of our passwords just in case I forgot one. Problem? I CAN’T REMEMBER THE DARN PASSWORD TO THE VAULT!! Sheesh…! No need to worry about me hacking into anything….OMG!!!!
Happy 4th of July!!!!
I have that exact same frustration – remembering my login and password on coupon and manufacturer sites to print coupons. And the worse thing? I usually do use the same password or a few variations of it!
I so need a program to keep track of my passwords. With sites that require CAPS – no caps – some CaPs – symb@ls – no symbols – numb3rs – no numbers or any combination of the above it is impossible to keep track of all my passwords. Just when I think I have everything under control, there comes a site that requires changing the password every 90 days! I was trying to pay a utility bill online and couldn’t remember my password. I tried so many times that the site locked me out. When I called the customer service number provided to reset my account – in order to identify myself they asked for my online password – REALLY? My brain is just not big enough and organization is definitely not my strong suit.
KA – I love your blog. Your posts make me smile. Thanks for sharing and the opportunity to win.
KA, love your blog and especially Scarlette photos. Okay, now for the story. I use Charter for my ISP. Each month I go online to pay my bill and each and every month I have to contact customer service because I can’t remember my password. It never fails. I can’t remember if I have to change it each month or what, but I just cannot remember it the next month. And I’m sure it’s very important that no one else be able to get online to pay my bill! There’s just too many passwords to remember.
I live in a small rural community where everyone knows everyone. I always! forget my online banking password and after 3 tries have to call to have the bank reset it. Just the other day i called once again, the bank lady say “Becky, you again?!” i respond ” ya sorry, i forgot again” the bank lady then suggested I write my password down or pick one I can remember.! Opps!
Once I couldn’t remember my password no matter what I did. Of course the email retrieval system didn’t work either. I eventually gave up and stopped trying. I hate when you have to call to have it reset. Very frustrating.
I was trying to pay for a hard -fought and won auction on ebay when I could not remember what my paypal password was. I actually tried so many options that they locked my account and I had to call and set up a new paypal account.
The password thing is a necessary evil, but it does get frustrating. A while back I wanted to start using a site again and realized they had my old (invalid) email address. In order to change it, I had to supply my password, which I couldn’t remember. Hitting the “I forgot” button means they will send your password via email. To the wrong email address. Sigh.
I hate having to remember all of our passwords. I have three or four that I use for all sites (I know, not good), so I always have to go through all of them before getting it right.
Ok but this is kind of my husband not telling me he changed our password….I was calling someplace and they wouldn’t talk to me until they verified I was the wife. And I remember thinking -who else would call to pay our bill or something…anyway I give our usual (he usually goes for three) nope…I’m wracking my brain…so I start saying Packers (He loves their team), nope….closer though. Now I am playing the colder and warmer game with this woman..the WHOLE time muttering…and I finally start yelling player names (keeping in mind I know all of three maybe). Finally- it was LOMBARDI. I was ready to kill him. He was literally standing there after a bit of me yelling saying.- I don’t remember what I set it as. LOL
I used to write all my passwords down in a journal. Then I cleaned up and put that journal away somewhere super safe. So safe, I cannot find it.
I fprgot my password on my banking website so often that they thought I was a hacker and froze my online banking, I need all the help I can get.
We have moved like a bazillion times since we’ve been married. Seems like every time we are in a hurry for a deadline and have to rent first. I always want to check rent.com but can never remember my email and password the right way and I get frozen out. My solution was to create new emails to have new accounts for, so now I have all these emails I can’t keep track of. I hope this could help!
I’m very embarrassed to report that my password dilemma involved using all caps when I shouldn’t have. If only I had something like this tool at the time. Better late than never!
My career profession is IT, so I’m the password resetter. Somehow that helps me remember my password!
We have to change passwords at work every three months. None can be reused. Then, there are other programs I use at work that require password changes on a different schedule than our network passwords change. The end result? I often can’t remember how to get into anything and no work gets done.
We had a problem when someone got our credit card info off of the internet. So I went and changed all my passwords and log in names. The first time I went back to try and log into an account I could not remember what I had changed it to so I had to reset my password and change it again.
This sounds awesome! Whenever I take a weeks vacation from work, I usually end up forgetting my work password! It is so embarrassing when you can’t even log into your work computer
I work for a state agency and have a TON of work passwords that I have to remember.
I also have a lot of personal websites, etc. that I use and order from. I just can’t remember them all!!!
So, I have a date book that goes EVERYWHERE with me – and they are all written down in there. If someone steals my datebook (and why would they – it’s not like I lead an exciting life!) – they will know my world!
But, I have to be honest, if it is a password for somewhere like starbucks or somewhere that it isn’t really a critical one, I use the same password for all of them. Yeah, I know, not safe. But really – who cares about my password for starbucks???
I’m notorious for just using the same password (or slight variations of it) for everything. I could totally use this!

I recently had to recover my password from a website I hadn’t used in a long time. It asked me for my favorite movie. I put in When Harry Met Sally. Nope. The Sound of Music. Nope. Turned it *was* the second one, but I’d decided to leave off the “The” and computers are very literal. The end.
I would like to know what we’re all going to do once our memories and eyesight are worse (when we’re older) so we can’t remember passwords and can’t read the captcha thingies even when squinting.
I keep a small notebook in my desk drawer underneath my computer. It has a list of all the passwords I use at all of the random sites. None of them are major-like credit cards or banks. I also usually put my password as the name of the website. Like Papajohns.com, my password is papajohns. So there, ya’ll can now go and order a pizza under my name.
I did get locked out of my email because I forgot my password. I had to call comcast and get the tech guy to reset it. He gave me a password that was so obscure, I use it to this day. I hope he never hacks my email.

I have so many passwords for work, persona, etc. it i so tough to remember them all and my current method doesn’t work so well. and, a couple of them i have to change monthlly and can’t go back to previous ones! eek, it tough sometimes.
I resorted to keeping passwords in the notes section of my ipod but would be in big trouble if my ipod were lost or damaged! Thanks for the giveaway!
I used to only have my emails on my iPhone and so I never had to sign out. Until I got a new phone. After trying to login on the computer i realized my email does not have any of the passwords I use.. So I clicked ‘I have a problem with my password’. Apparently I chose a security question that asked who my oldest neice is. I don’t have a neice. I sent customer service an email about my issue and they were nice..until they asked me my security question about my neice. I explained that i did not have a neice at all and that was the problem I asked about at first and they said they could fix. They said that I needed to answer the security question correctly before accessing my account. I got a new email.
I’m a teacher and a few years ago our district implemented electronic gradebook. For security reasons, it forces you to change passwords nearly every quarter. I finally ran out of familiar passwords and locked myself out of my own gradebook for over two weeks before I finally received a response from tech support. Needless to say, I write it down now, even though they tell you not to.
I always forget my State Farm password for paying my insurance bill. I go thru all the password hints and still have to have it emailed to me. Everytime! I always think…really? Why even have a password, it’s not likely that anyone is going to pay my bill for me.
Once I had a friend over and she wanted to access our wireless internet. I thought I know the password so I entered it. Then entered it again. Then started trying all combinations of said password. Did I have it wrong? I figured I just forgot the actual password, until I realized I was entering it in caps and it should’ve been in lowercase – 20 minutes later.
I use a variation of a couple passwords. It depends on the site and what their rules are for passwords. (If I need numbers and capital letters.) I still forget and end up having to have it sent to me. Then I have to remember which email address I used. LOL
I always forget my passwords and security questions. It’s sad. I started writing down my passwords on little slips of paper, but failed to write what website that they went to. It didn’t matter because they all started disappearing and my husband was all, “Please start throwing away your scribble paper, I’m tired of cleaning it up.” I finally organized them on a sheet of paper that I keep in the computer desk drawer.
After reading all these comments I no longer feel so “forgetful”!! After continually losing accounts or being unable to complete transactions AND having a partial identity theft a couple years ago happen to me…( man, that is so time consuming to fix!)… I now, (even tho we are continually told not to)… have a several pages of website ID~ Sign ins~ passwords ~ hints written down… I found this wonderful, old fashioned, so to speak template you can print out and it has been a life saver…Honestly tho, I think we should all have both handwritten and a software type system of filing those details that we need daily. ..( i was doing the same thing as Kim… and it totally was not working.. the great thing about having a paper file of them is you can still keep changing and updating your passwords and ids, and just change them on the file sheet when doing so. It keeps it all in order… If Kayla reads this and would like a link to the template, I would be happy to share it.

At work we have to change our passwords periodically and it cannot be a different version of your current password. I have 2 secure passwords I use each day. Right after the movie “Couples Retreat” came out, we were prompted to change our passwords. Because I couldn’t think of anything else, I choose “asstastic” from the movie. The next morning when I logged on to my work computer I couldn’t remember my combination of capital letters, numbers, symbols, etc. I had to go see our school’s network manager and ask her to retrieve my password. You can imagine my embarrassment when a nearly 60 year old woman said “It looks like ass-something….”
This. Is. Fantastic.
I forget my passwords ALL the time. and the password hints :/ especially now that I’m a mother. I will say that the IT at work laughed out loud at my password (it wasn’t crass but it was silly and also the password I use for nearly everything because I just can’t remember). and all these stories are hillarious!
i am that person who could use ginseng when it comes to passwords, almost daily i am using the “forgot your password” feature…just.cant.seem.to.get.it.quite.right.usually. this would come in handy for me.
Thanks for a super giveaway!

My favorite is when my husband forgot a password so he called the service department to reset it. Since my name was on the account, they needed to talk to me. So they asked him what my phone number was so they could verify that he was authorized. Yeah, real secure
I use the same two passwords for most things. If I vary from those, I have to have a reminder sent to me. Every single month my phone company has to send me a reminder. You would think that I would remember it 5 years later, or change it to something more memorable, but no… I keep asking for reminders.
I’m just happy that I’m not alone….in not remembering and have to reset my passwords every month. I think I have at least 50 different accounts that require passwords and some that I don’t log-in often enough, I just have to re-set the passwords every single time. Quite frustrating when you are in a rush trying to get things done. This sounds like the perfect product for me.

I often forget my passwords as I’ve often heard it’s bad to have the same password for everything, so this sounds like it would work wonder’s and I can feel secure about keeping up with passwords.
They make us change our passwords at work every month and have trouble remembering the new one.

I’ve had some trouble in the past trying to remember passwords to websites that I had signed up to, unless I had wrote them down or made it something easy to remember if I visited them on a regular basis.
I forgot my password for my email account at work as we had to change it weekly and could not get email until Monday when tech support could be reached.

My password mistakes are too numerous to count. From using the simple abc1234 to the street I live on. But recently I think I have became a little more savy after a very scary incident with someone trying to purchase things through my hacked Borders account.
Forgetting passwords can be really annoying. I presently use Roboform and try to periodically back up my passes, but this setup from Norton seems to be pretty useful also. Great giveaway.
Whenever I make a new account somewhere I never bother actually remembering the password, so I’ve been locked out of a fair few sites for trying too many over the space of minutes!
I forget online passwords all the time
I’ve forgotten mine for my banking website and had to call and go through a ton of stuff to get it changed. It was such a hassle. Thank you!!
I forget my passwords at work weekly.

This isn’t my story, but I was just talking to my mom about it last night. My grandfather passed away a month ago, and since then my grandmother has locked herself out of her online bank account no less than 10 times (he used to pay the bills and now she has to do it). Each time she locks herself out, she has to call the bank helpline to unlock her, and it takes them an hour to walk her through resetting it. It’s crazy.

The password for the security door wouldn’t work so I jumped over a desk to get through to go home.
I am always forgetting my password, especially to PalPal. I try to use the same passwords (a no no I know) but some sites have crazy rules that just confuse me. I once tried to log into my hubby’s work sits ( I have his permission) and got him locked out…not good!

I rarely forget my password, but I do often forget the security question answers because I do not want them to be “easy”. The biggest mistake people make is making their password security questions answers similar to stuff they post online social networking sites.
I always used Roboform (a password/form filler) so when I lost my computer and got a new one a few years back. When I went to enter all my usual sites, I found that there were a couple that I had not saved the passwords for and on top of that, they were older sites I had visited for years and used a totally different email address for as well, I was never able to get back into one of those sites. Even with reregistering I could not get in because all the rest of my info was the same so it insisted I was already registered.

I’ve been lucky since a friend told me about Roboform about 10 years ago. It’s been keeping my login and passwords safe and handy for that long. It also generates passwords for new sites.

I was having such a hard time with remembering passwords that I developed a wacky way of keeping track. I would make the first password something like Monday01, the next one would be Monday02, etc. then I kept a list taped inside the door of the desk. The list would have my most often used accounts alphabetically (with something that was very unimportant at the top of the list) and then a second separate list just naming the first password to that minor account. No one knew that they were all in order. It began to get overwhelming because every time I was forced to change one password I had to go through the effort to change all of them. It was very safe but it drove me nuts and I quit doing it. Now I need something like Norton to help me out.

Remembering passwords are the worst. Add onto the fact that my hubby entered the wrong birth date for him and it is a disaster. The person on the phone you are trying to get the password from really doesn’t believe it is you if the birthday is wrong. That not only adds to the “why are we using this company anyways”? feeling. I hope I win the contest!
I’m a college student and I have several passwords for different college portals because every website has a different rule about how long the password has to be and how many numbers and symbols needs to be in the password. It drives me crazy! I always get confused on which password is for which portal and then I just end up resetting my password except, like you, I don’t remember half the answers I put as my security questions. I am forever doomed.

So I am one of those people that loved to use the same password for everything until recently when someone hacked my Pinterest account!. I know that you are thinking Pinterest that is not that important. But when you do not get to pin for three days because they are investigating your sight to make sure that they can find the source of the problem and verify that you are who you are you will can all of your passwords. So I now I have to write them all down so I do not forget and lock myself out of everything. This program would be incredible. I would love to try all of the features that it has. Hope I win!!
I’ve had my email hacked in the past and as a result, started sending my friends links to canadian pharmacies. It’s not fun to get a call from your boss to change your password! Worse yet, I couldn’t remember the answers to the security questions to get it back…. not fun!
I have (for most things) 5 different passwords I use for different things….so if I forget, I just go through and try one of the other ones!
When I do forget a password, I usually just have it emailed to me!

One to sign into computer, one to sign into email, one to sign into safetynet, one to sign into vpn…and they cant be the same. As I am someone who uses the same password for EVERYTHING (I know, extremely not safe, blah blah blah. I am extremely forgetful!), this is extremely hard. It has gotten to the point where I have the help desk’s number on a sticky note on my desk and have the procedure down pat. “I am calling to reset my VPN/SafetyNet/Email password. My mother’s maiden name is W******s and my first dog was Rudy. Yes, I will hold while you reset it. Yes, please email the new password to me because by the time we get off the phone I will have forgotten it. Thank you so much, talk to you next week.”
I forgot my password on my laptop for 2 weeks…I finally figured it out but it drove me nuts!

I use several different passwords and one time used the wrong one. It locked me out and I had to contact customer support and get back on. Drove me crazy!
I forgot my password when I was on vacation. Luckily my dh was at home and he retrieved it for me!

I was attempting to pay a bill, one that was late, and I kept inputting the wrong password until I was locked out. Ugh!

I forget my passwords fairly often because I have variations of different passwords for safety. I have had to call companies before to regain access to my account because I tried to log in too many times.

I forgot a password for a bill I had to pay online. I waited 3 days to receive an email containing a link to reset my password. By then my payment was late and there was a late fee added to my account.
At work I have 6 different passwords and I forget at least one of them daily! Wish they would let us just have one password for everything!

My email account. I have had it for over ten years and occasionally something weird happens and I end up locked out. This requires a new password and now it is some foreign combination of letters, numbers and symbols.
I try to make hard passwords but always forget them so have to click on the forgot password button. Then I tried to put them down in code to prompt my memory but that doesn’t work.
I would love something like this because I am always losing my passwords. It’s very frustrating!

I am constantly forgetting passwords. The “forgot password” button is my best friend.
Oh man, I am the WORST offender at forgetting passwords. The worst part is I work with my husband, and he is the one who has to unlock my account and change the password every time I forget it! Now he calls me his “absent-mined professor”.
I forgot my password before for my blog and it took 2 days for me to remember it!
i always forget mine and have to do a reset
