How to Never Forget All Your Different Pass Words

0:00 Hi, my name's Jonathan Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor

Hi, my name's Jonathan Ellaskins, The DJ Tutor. This video is not DJ related, and yes, my kitchen is an absolute tip, so shut up. Right, as you know, it can be an absolute logistical nightmare to remember your password. In fact, if you've got multiple accounts all over the web, it's a logistical nightmare. And the only way of doing it most of the time, unless you've got a really good memory, is to write it down. But of course, if you write it down, where do you write it down? Who's going to find your passwords? Are they secure? What are you about to lose? You could lose your identity. Now, using these very, very simple steps, I guarantee you 99%, nothing's 100%, of course some birth and death, but apart from that, everything is, well, iffy.

I can pretty much guarantee you 99% that A, no one is ever going to get your password, and B, you never ever will have to write your passwords down ever again. Or in fact, maybe it might be an idea to write it down once, somewhere, and put it in a safe, or just put it somewhere, but even write a little bit of it down, just to jog your memory. Talking about jogging your memory, do you remember when you were at school and you used to recite things? Poems, and you'd sit there with the class room, and you'd be singing, you know, just songs, or hymns, or you'd walk into the school, and all of a sudden, at assembly, at reception, you'd sing something all together, you know, as a class. Just think about that for a second. Let me show you what I've written down here.

Okay, so, I've got 3BMCHTRFB, 3BMCHTRYT, 3BMCHTRYTW. Now, one of those is for Facebook, one's for YouTube, one's for Twitter. How are you going to remember all of this? Now, let's imagine that you put your password down for Facebook, for example, number one, and let's say you log out, and six months later, you log back in. But you can't remember all this shit, man. I mean, 3BMCHTR, it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. These letters are random, but it actually does make sense. It's a very ironic kind of dyslexic way, because the C should be an S. Why? Let me tell you. Three blind mice see how they run. Facebook. Now, the C, okay, is S, S, of course, but I put it as a C. So, the 3 should be a T, but it's a 3, because it's a number.

Three blind mice see how they run. Facebook. That's my first password. My second one, three blind mice see how they run, YT, for YouTube. My third one, three blind mice see how they run, sorry, three blind mice see how they run, for, oh yeah, I shouldn't put a Y there, should I? Because that was above there. Sorry, beg your pardon. Twitter, TW. Now, the first one here... ...is Facebook. Now, I could change that B for a small b. My second one is YouTube, so I could change the second letter for a small m. The third one, the C for a small c. So, there is a certain amount of structure and a certain amount of memory involved here, but the main part of remembering is just the poem. Three blind mice see how they run.

4:47 It could be a quarter of a paragraph

Okay. So, again, if we look here, three. We could change it slightly. Three straightaway F B. Mice see how they run. The second one, three blind YT, YouTube, see how they run. The third one, three blind mice see Twitter, TW, how they run. So, there are many ways of changing this... ...and only you will be able to remember it. All you're doing, if you think logically... ...is you're remembering the tube. You're remembering that small thing that you all used to sing at school or whatever, family meetings. It could be anything. It doesn't have to be something like that. It could be a song. It could be a line. Okay? It could be a quarter of a paragraph... ...in your latest, greatest hip-hop tune that you like. It could be an old school 60s track from 63 that you used to jive to...

...that only you love. But try and make it so there's numbers in there as well. For example, something silly like 1 2 3 o'clock 4 o'clock rock 5 6 7 o'clock 8 o'clock rock. Now, you may not want to do 1 2 3 4... ...but you could do something like this. For example... You get there, put this here. You could do something like this. 1 2 3 4 o'clock rock 1 t3 f r You see, these are random letters and numbers that only you know. And this is the genius part. This is genius. Simply because it's random and it's easy to remember. And so long as you can remember the melody... ...so long as you can remember the name of the track... ...then you can't really forget your password. Alright, it's not as easy as just remembering 1 2 3 4 or A B C or QWERTY...

...but then people are going to find that out. But this is personal to you, alright? So don't call on me if all of a sudden someone hacks into your password, alright? Because that's your shit man, alright? But this will help you. Now, this is far better than writing a password down that you're going to forget. This is also far better than writing down a password... ...that's easy like A B 1 2 3. Alright? I hope this has been a help. Practice and enjoy. Thank you.
