Hello,

Many, including myself, find the 32 digit password to be downright idiotic. But, I have a method I use that makes it real easy to remember and use that I would like to pass on to everyone. You may find this way helpful.

I created a new text file on my desktop (right click on desktop --> click on new --> click on text document) and made the name of it my 32 digit password. Whenever I need my code, I simply click on the file name twice very slowly (this is the same as right clicking on the file then renaming). This causes the file name highlight. I then right click on the highlighted filename and select copy, then right click and paste it where I need it.

Seems to be the easiest way I have found to remember this crazy number.

Also, for those of you who can't seem to get the browser to remember it you have your cookies either disabled in the browser or something (firewall?) is keeping them from coming in.

Thanks for listening :-)

-Terry

There are really one two times that you should need that account key. 1) The first time you attach a host to the project and 2) the first time you log into the projects website. There is a checkbox beside the login screen that allows the user to his account logged in on that website, negating the need to constantly re-enter the key.

However, your method is very ingenious. :) i wish I had thought of it.
