Too Many Passwords

LK3 writes "A survey of 1700 technology end users in the United States released today reveals some interesting findings about password management habits. 'The results suggest that having to juggle multiple passwords causes users to compensate with risky security techniques and creates a drain on productivity by taxing the resources of IT support centers.' Further, corporate requirements of frequent password replacement further exacerbates the toll on human memory. Is the solution a master password, with all of the potential problems that represents, or biometrics, or are we stuck with post-it notes and a call to the help desk?"

Just use your Social Security number.

It's a number that's supposed to be kept secret with whomever you share it with (because society would collapse if they didn't) --- and it's a number that just about every organization seems to want anyway (so you don't have to fear revealing it to them since they have it anyway)

Good idea?
