    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: 5,985 ✭✭✭daheff

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,078 ✭✭✭✭Cluedo Monopoly


    Yes indeed. Often login to Revenue.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,098 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,573 ✭✭✭Ninthlife


    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: 12,439 ✭✭✭✭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.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,232 ✭✭✭TooTired123

    Nope only used it a handful of times

    my interactions with the state are minimal thank god



  • Posts: 3,686 ✭✭✭ [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: 6,406 ✭✭✭TheRiverman


    Yes.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,446 ✭✭✭easygoing39


    no,never have to use it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 15,144 ✭✭✭✭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, Paid Member Posts: 7,133 ✭✭✭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: 11,395 ✭✭✭✭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: 845 ✭✭✭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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,695 ✭✭✭AllGunsBlazing


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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,992 ✭✭✭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: 13,496 ✭✭✭✭Mad_maxx


    Yes



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,140 ✭✭✭gameoverdude


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

    Forget my birth date as well.
