Even though I use the cloud to save passwords, I always try to remember all my important logins by memory just in case I am not able to rely on my original sources.

Cloud
I was surprised to see that the topic of cloud computing and storage was not a topic previously discussed considering it is something I use on a daily basis. The cloud is an amazing tool...until it's not. Being able to open up any document on any device is such a time saver! That being said, a windy day and a fallen tree could be the difference between convenience and absolute panic. Even if it is a perfect day, the internet is working just fine, and you are ready to sit down and enjoy a snack while you work. Then suddenly you see a page that says "page currently unavailable" or " ______ is experiencing downtime."

The convenience of omnipresence access has its price: must have connectivity!
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you remember all your important credentials. What if you are incapacitated or simply need a designee to access your important accounts?
This is why I always suggest keeping hard copies of super important papers or photo's, someday a country or a crazy person will fry our systems and poof bye bye cloud and everything that was on it. I usually keep everything both on the cloud and saved to my devices, but I also go the extra mile of printing out important photos and documents just in case.
ReplyDeleteSame I relied on the cloud remembering everything till I had to remember myself. I now write everything down and keep it in a safe spot
ReplyDeleteI don't really use the cloud as much as I used to now that I have a PC. I also keep all my passwords memorized.
ReplyDeleteWow, good point I should make my spouse know how to access my passwords in case of an emergency.
ReplyDeleteI typed all my usernames and passwords in a note on my phone. Don't know how safe that truly is, but it's okay.
ReplyDeleteLike some other folks have already said, I appreciate the versatility and efficiency of cloud storage, and cloud-based computing.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, like Ivan said, I keep hard copies of anything important, and keep localized versions on my device as well. Who knows when cloud access could be rendered temporarily unavailable.
I try to write down most of my important usernames and passwords on my phone so I can privately access them.
ReplyDeleteBeing let down by the cloud is the reason I have a list of the passwords that I don't use often enough to remember.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to have back-ups for your important documents, but I must say, cloud computing is so convenient.
ReplyDeleteI have backup hard copies of my user name and password as well. In spite of technology manual maybe slower but more reliable.
ReplyDeleteCloud storage is definitely really fascinating! I heard that Cloud technology is a super valuable career path/field nowadays and I totally understand why now.
ReplyDeleteUsing cloud saver is really useful. I am very forgetful and I often worry about losing or breaking my phone cloud storage gives me a insurance that my information is safe.
