Comments on Something I see all the time that just drives me batty!In the past few days, I've have seen something similiar happening with women business owners -- and what's the saying...where there's smoke, there's fire?TypePad2011-03-14T05:49:14ZYvonne DiVitahttps://www.lipsticking.com/tag:typepad.com,2003:https://www.lipsticking.com/2011/03/something-i-see-all-the-time-that-just-drives-me-batty/comments/atom.xml/@LenaWest commented on 'Something I see all the time that just drives me batty!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c011b53ef014e5fda2e75970c2011-03-14T17:48:04Z2011-03-14T17:48:04Z@LenaWesthttp://www.Twitter.com/LenaWest@Yvonne: That's awesome that you can remember all your credentials.

<p>That's awesome that you can remember all your credentials. I don't think it's a matter of committing them to memory though, it's a matter of having them in a place that is accessible to you so that if you need to lock someone out, grant someone else access or access the account on your own, you can and business owners don't have to ask someone else for permission to get into their own technology.</p>

I do not let IE remember it for me nor do I think Tom should do it (he keeps a good record so if I do forget, or just can't recall at that moment, I'll check with him). </p>
<p>We travel a lot and if I didn't KNOW my login to my many accounts, I'd be lost. Like you, Lena, I've heard folks whining that they can't get into an account because... someone else has the login, or they just didn't bother to commit it to memory themselves.</p>@LenaWest commented on 'Something I see all the time that just drives me batty!'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c011b53ef014e5fd9f8dd970c2011-03-14T17:06:50Z2011-03-14T17:06:50Z@LenaWesthttp://www.Twitter.com/LenaWest@P.S.

<p>I'm not sure that I find it hilarious, I do think it's sad though. And, you are right she didn't think it was funny at the time although now she looks back on it and chuckles at how naive she was.</p>
<p>And, I agree with you, there are ways to give people access without giving them "full control" access. </p>

(Although I can appreciate that she probably didn't think it was that funny.) Not only should you always have your own logins, those logins should be secret from the people you're working with. Instead of giving them your login, you grant access to the your account through another program or adding a another login. For example, don't give others your WordPress login; Make them a user account you have control over. Don't give them your Twitter login; Give them access through a program like Hootsuite. </p>
