I have a TBI. Password security is hard for me. How do I find someonne to let me use my own passwords w/o writing them down or storing them on a computer??

I have always used the same 3 passwords for everything. 3 are too many for me. I forget them and need to reset. Now, I can no longer use passwords I know and can remember. The new requirements for length, types of characters and stuff is really hard. I came up with a good one, but because it was new, I forgot. Then they say you can't reuse your passwords! Everytime I forget, I have to make-up something new to forget.


I have a request for reasonable accomodation under the ADA. I need an exception on my account that will let me use a recent password. I do not mind going through security questions. I can remember the answers to those! I am disabled. I need this assistance for account accessibility. I do not believe accomodating my problems from traumatic brain injury would be unreasonable.


Apple can't pay for enough peoople to actually do customer assistance, I guess. They just think we all have the same issues, they've heard it all before, and you can hunt and find your answer. This forum was all I saw that could lead to human interaction about this.


I'd also love advice for other popular sites, if you have any.


I put this under physical and motor skills because my brain has been physically damaged. Notice they don't even have a category for mental and learning disabilities.


Sorry for the "rant," but I have cried over my keyboard too many times now. Added to all the other stress of a TBI, now my ability to use the Internet is going down the toilet. It is my only interaction with the world beyond my walls and family.

There are a few applications out now that may be able to help you out. 1Password and LastPass are both password vault or lockers. They allow you to save passwords for applications and websites. That way you have a single password you use to keep the vault/locker secure and then all of your other passwords are stored for you so you don't have to write them down or try to remember them all.
