It’s crazy all of the passwords a person has to remember these days. Unless you use one of those applications that handles passwords for all of your programs and websites, you likely have a long list of passwords you have to remember on any given day. Otherwise, you better have a safe place to store those passwords that doesn’t involve a sticky note hanging from the computer monitor. You also don’t want to create a document file in your computer titled passwords.txt either. I inevitably try to keep them all in one place in my old and trusty hardcover address book that I’ve had since the mid 1990s. It’s where I keep all of my important information like my passwords and my phone numbers for everyone I know. Unfortunately, when I got my new smart thermostat for my central heating and cooling system, I forgot to write down the administrator password after I created one. This password protects all of the manual features in your thermostat if you choose to do so, or it simply protects any changes made to your account. I didn’t need the thermostat password until yesterday and realized I never wrote it down in my address book like other passwords. In the end, I had to go to the website for the company that makes these thermostats, and I changed my password. Thankfully, this time I was extremely careful to write the password down. Hopefully I won’t ever run into a situation like this again with my HVAC smart thermostat. The features are easy to use and I love the level of manual control it gives me with my entire HVAC system.
