Should I use one (1) password for all my password requirements or vary them?

Hello.  At present, I have many different passwords for various password requirements on my iMac.  Would it be possible to use only
one strong password instead for ALL my needs?  Thanks for any input on this.

Thanks very much everyone--sorry I can only give 'this helped me' points to the first couple of answers, doesn't look like I can give out any more.  Also I will put a 'this solved my question' on after I wait for a few more replies, if they should come in.
I have been using MANY passwords, actually about 3 pages of them I keep written down, but thought I was being paranoid!  By the sounds of it I should keep up with what I am doing even though it is a bit cumbersome.
There is a program called 1Password but the cost is a bit prohibitive and I have found in the past that I pay and download some of these programs and then find I cant understand completely how to use them, so for the time being I will continue with what I am doing, thanks to your input.
I did read somewhere that a strong password would be a series of statements that meant something to you--for example 'Ilovetopasstimeonmymac' (I love to pass time on my mac).  I have also read that putting a # sign in with the characters and numbers has merit.
Again thanks for your input, I appreciate your time and expertise.  Cheers.

    My family has multiple iPhones.  Can we use one Apple ID for all of our phones?

    If you use the same AppleID for iMessage and iCloud though, you will all be sharing the same message account and iCloud email account.  You can use a common AppleID for purchased content, but each create your own unique AppleID for iMessage and iCloud so you each have your own private accounts for those services.

  • HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

    You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
    Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
    What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

  • Publication using "one database fetch for all recepients" is a failure

    Hi,
    I have created a Publication in *CMC* with Crystal Reports as Source Document. When I schedule it with option " One database fetch per recipient" it is a Success. But while using the option "One database fetch for all recipients" it is a Failure.
    I tried this with Personalization value Parameter as well as Filter. But both combinations throw an error message when used with Reporting Bursting Method "One database fetch for all recipients".
    Anybody who has worked with Publication please let me know in which scenario one can use the Advanced setting:
    Report Bursting Method
    "one database fetch for all recepients"
    Regards,
    Amogh.

    Howard,
    The method I use is to put the connection script in a file outside the web root. Although the file has the same name on both the local and remote servers, the details are specific to that particular connection. Then each page in the website has the following PHP script.
    require_once '../outside_folder/.db.php';
    This method is also more secure than including the connection details inside the web root. Also note that the file name begins with a period and ends with the php extension, both for added security.

  • HT204053 Should I use one Apple id for two Apple products

    I Bought iPad and already had iPhone ans used same I'd for both
    want to know if in future I deleted apps from my iPhone will it be deleted from my iPad also or visa versa

    Yes, yes, yes, always use ONLY ONE Apple ID.  Multiple IDs will cause multiple problems.
    Deleting from one device will not result in deletion from other devices.
    It's best to manage your devices from iTunes on a computer.  The iTunes will know which device is which but you might want to name them (in iTunes) for your own convenience.  You can then decide which music, apps, movies, etc. belong on which device(s).

  • Using one Message Interface for all mappings

    Hi Folks,
    I am using a BPM in which i m getting a file from file system which have system ID in it.
    I am having three send Synchronous step following that.
    What i need is to use the Message interface for file to be used for receiver determination based on system id in case of Synchronous interfaces.
    DO i need to include this File msg. interface in each mapping, if i do so will it be possible to send req. and get response for synchronous call.
    OR is there any way to to use the file msg. interface for each mapping.
    we are on SP17,I also tried Extended mapping but i am having SYNCHRONOUS send steps.
    Plz help me out
    Sachin

    Bhavesh
    <i>1. You receiver a file in your BPM . This has a field called SYSTEM ID?
    2. On the basis of the System ID field you need to determine the Receiver to which the Synchronous Request message has to be sent?</i>
    Sorry for that...because I was confused with jai's ans.. that's why said like that
    <b>You are absolutely correct</b>
    This is what i want to do.
    i can't use switch step here.  my BPM looks like this
    RecFile->sync send->transformation1->transformation2->sync send2->transformation3->BLOCK
    in BLOCK
    Sync Send3->transformation4 and so on...
    I am using three different Sync ABS Interface for each Sync send steps.
    In receiver determination i want to get the data from respective R/3 system based on system ID i.e. logical system in File MI.
    Say if it T90CLNT90 then get data from BS_SAPR3_4.6 else from BS_4.7

  • How to use one WAD template for all the available queries

    Hi,
    I have created a WAD template... Now we have close to 25 queries which will use that template for displaying their output at Portal...
    Is there any way that i don`t have to create multiple copies of my WAD template...
    I.e. all queries would call that same template through portal...

    Hi,
    The Bex report uses the Standard Template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN while it is executed.
    So if your sure that the look and feel of all the Reports is going to remain same, you don't need to even attach all these Queries to Templates in WAD.
    When you execute the BEx query, it would pick up the standard template and run it in portal.
    But if you want to customize the Report Template:
    1) You can change this standard template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN  and customize it according to ur requrement in WAD.
    2) Or you can create a copy of this standard template and change it as required. Then change the template in spro (transaction RSCUSTV27) to point to this Z template.
    Let me know if you need more details.
    Regards,

  • Should you use only one smtp address for all email accounts?

    My iPhone and iPad will not send mail from either of two email accounts. Ive checked the smtp settings and passwords several times. I have several email accounts with different providers/servers though, so should there only be one server chosen for all? Cant figure out why my email won't send! Anyone know an answer?

    No.  Each mail provider has its own SMTP server. And you won't be able to send email from one provider's email account through another provider's smtp server.
    Each account should have its provider's SMTP server set as its Primary Server.  And The rest of the smtp servers should be turned off for that particular account. 

  • HT204053 The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now?

    The entire family has used one itunes account for years. How do we all set up separate iCloud accounts now? Or should we? 5 macbooks, 2 ipads, 4 iphones, 2 itouch, 2 imacs.   How does one decide what to sync, share and what not to? Green Jeans.

    You need to start by understanding the distinction between iTunes and iCloud - Apple confuse the issue by referring to 'iTunes Match' as part of iCloud. It isn't.
    You don't have to have the same login (Apple ID) for iTunes and iCloud; many people don't and there's no problem about it.
    Your iCloud ID gets you email, calendars, contacts, iWork documents and PhotoStream syncing between devices.
    Your iTunes ID gets you the iTunes Store, the App Store for iOS, the Mac App Store for OSX,, 'iTunes in the Cloud' (downloading of purchased items to any logged-in device) and 'iTunes Match' (uploading of songs not purchased in the iTunes Store).
    Your family members can easily each get their own iCloud account to keep email etc. separate - in each case they will need a different non-Apple email address (a free one from Yahoo etc. would do) to set up the ID. If they are sharing a Mac they need to be using a separate user account.
    They can have their own iCloud accounts and still all sign into the same iTunes account: or they can open their own iTunes accounts using their new iCloud Apple IDs.
    BUT they cannot transfer items purchased under the present iTunes ID to different iTunes IDs.

    HI
    I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
    I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
    I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
    So what can i do?

    I have been using one apple ID for my family as it makes it easier to manage itunes purchases/rentals on all of our devices.  Now that my kids are getting old and my wife has recently purchased an Iphone, I can see that I need to change my strategy. I plan to add a few more iphones to the family very soon.  What is your recommendation to manage all of our devices (iphones, itouch, apple tv) for my family?  Can I continue to function with one apple ID or is it time to take the leep into attempting to manage multi-apple ID's? 

    There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:
