    Good way to handle it -- for you. I can visualize myself trying to remember which USB stick had the password.
    Then put the TXT file on all of them. It will be a whopping 63 bytes in size. I am sure each thumb drive will have the space.

    Another way Corrine, is to buy different colored ones for different computers.
    Like you do with you supply of shoes, purses, and ( well I better stop there if I want to stay on here)!
    I'd still need to locate the them. As to the shoes/purses equation, that wouldn't work here. I'm not a shopper, have one purse (3 or 4 years old) and probably have more USB sticks than I have pairs of shoes.

    I was teasing. Your suggestion is a good idea and may indeed work for someone needing this solution. :)

    Corrine,
    I would have lost my behind on betting you had more shoes and purses than that.
    I took the test and it would take a hacker 117 days to crack mine so I guess I better think of a better one.........right now it's "PassWord" just joking of course.

    No "weak settings password" here. According to a variation of my 30-character mixed up router password at How Secure Is My Password?

    It would take
    About 7,732,087,003 nonillion years
    for a desktop PC to crack your password
    Nice link, thanks Corrine, this will be an excellent eye opener for people.

    Corrine,

    My wife says she's going to paint her USB drives with different colors of nail polish to keep track of them.....

    There's an idea??????
