Overwhelmed by pins!

I have too many freakin pin numbers and passwords!! I have them on my bank card, my credit cards, my online bank accounts, paypal, various other websites, work, phone, work phone, etc.

And of course each pin number is supposed to be unique and not written down anywhere. Well I am a good pin user and I would never write them down.

So when I got my ING bank card so I could use my thrive account, I dutifully memorized the pin number and then shredded it.

I then used my card the next day to ensure I had it memorized.

Then I went on vacation.

Then I tried to use my ING card and...nothing.

I forgot my pin!!!!!

So I called ING to get it reset and guess what. They don't reset pins! Instead they had to cancel my card and now they are going to mail me a new card and mail me a new pin. I was told to expect my card and pin within 2 to 3 weeks and if I want to change my pin then I have to use an ING bank machine (none exist within 3 hours of me).

GRRRR!!! I am so annoyed.

  1. Oh no! I know what you mean though, there are just so many pins/passwords to remember.
