    I learnt mine off in secondary school because it was the password they put on our computer account.

    Do you know your PPS number?

    ^ that was a security blunder waiting to happen!

    But to answer your question, yes I do.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,918 ✭✭✭daheff


    no -what is it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,932 ✭✭✭Cluedo Monopoly


    Yes indeed. Often login to Revenue.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,067 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    All numbers have a 0 infront of them and we're kept on the notice board at the top of the computer rooms.

    Noooo.... don't memorise it, it's how 'THEY' will control you

    Stick it to 'The Man' and don't be a sheeple

    p.s. Throw in some number of the beast references too

    Yes. The end of it is used as our HR systems password in work, so it's useful for that.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,522 ✭✭✭✭Jim_Hodge


    I can rattle it off but just from use over so many years, I never made a point of learning it. A bit like my current account number or some phone numbers.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,232 ✭✭✭TooTired123


    I know mine my husbands and my daughters all off by heart . I’m charged with logging in and out of all 3 revenue.ie accounts.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,366 ✭✭✭Star Bingo

    Nope only used it a handful of times

    my interactions with the state are minimal thank god



  • Posts: 3,656 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    yes.... and my Eircode, Car Reg, bank account, credit card, all passwords..............all stored in my head! I hope I never get a bang on it and end up with amnesia. I have a photographic memory.

    I was just going online to pay my bins and my old phone had saved my login details, which consisted of a Panda number and PIN number. I have a new phone since last time I logged in so nothing was saved. But the correct numbers just came into my head and I was able to log in. Dead handy thing to have.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,259 ✭✭✭TheRiverman


    Yes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,390 ✭✭✭easygoing39


    no,never have to use it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,058 ✭✭✭✭Dial Hard


    Yes, and I was actually a bit "Huh? How?" when a friend didn't know hers a while back. I'm also amazed at how many people don't know their own car reg.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,931 ✭✭✭Cork Lass


    Yes, I know my pps number, my husbands pps number as well as my bank account number and my credit card number. I frequently can't remember where I left my keys or my glasses but numbers are a breeze for me.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,392 ✭✭✭✭Furze99


    Of course, who wouldn't?

    I do. Have been asked for my PPS number in the past when I didn't have my card with me and had to ring home and ask my mam to check the back of my card for the number. After that, I made a point of learning my number just to be safe.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 771 ✭✭✭GSBellew


    Do I know a series of numbers and letters that has never changed since being assigned to me, Yes I do.

    I know my wives too.

    I know the registration numbers of the several cars I have.

    I know the chassis numbers of the ones I've had longest.

    I know my insurance policy number.

    I know part numbers of parts I have to order frequently.

    I can usually recall the chassis numbers of cars in build, because the number is in my head.

    I know my Passport number, credit card number, date of birth.

    Jesus lads, this is basic ****, how in the hell do people pass the leaving cert these days?

    I guess I forgot we did not have a formula book, we had to learn that too.

    Was full sure I did but it turns out I was thinking of the wifi password.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,054 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure


    "Let's see, social security number ... naught, naught, naught ... naught, naught ... naught, naught, naught, two. Damn Turkelton...."



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,503 ✭✭✭✭Mad_maxx


    Yes



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,372 ✭✭✭gameoverdude


    Nope. There's a h in it I think.

    Forget my birth date as well.
