I’ve had to avail myself of this very useful function on other websites where I am an infrequent visitor when upon returning, I have forgotten my password. I never let Windows remember my passwords.
However, on Ice In Space, I’m here far too often to forget!
Cheers
Dennis

The mobile asks you for a PIN.

Okay Leon, that’s good, very good indeed, but I reckon I can go one better….
My passwords are generally 26 characters long, comprising letters, numbers, upper case, lower case, special characters, invisible ink and feather weight keystrokes.
I then take that password and jumble it through an Enigma machine as an XOR operation with a constant value k, of each byte of plaintext b, to produce a Cipher value c, before encrypting the output using an Advanced Encryption Standard 256 bit algorithm. After that, I read it in a mirror, backwards, and miss every 2nd character substituting for those with a letter from an ancient alphabet which has not yet been discovered or translated.
Finally, I write it on a piece of paper, commit it to memory then swallow the paper. ![Whistling](/vbiis/images/smilies/icon_smile_whistling.gif) ![Whistling](/vbiis/images/smilies/icon_smile_whistling.gif)

I never remember my password, probably because I'm logged in all the time so never need to use it.
This is fine until I'm at another site and want to log in.

Another number that I find hard to remember is our home ‘phone number – I dial it so rarely. Before anyone asks, we don’t have a mobile between us so I cannot save it to memory to recall it.

That is a good encrypted pass word.
You forgot to add this little bit however.
