Can confirm. As far as my mom in 1998 knew, I didn't have access to the internet. I needed the password to go on her Earthlink 56k internet account.

I'm 42 now, and my mom STILL thinks I never knew her password.

I'm 42 years old, and still remember it, because of how many times 15 year old me typed that in.

I guess I don't need to "maintain" that lie anymore. I can't imagine a scenario where my 70+ year old mother will ask me about that exact situation, or why it would matter today.

    Edit: Vast majority of people have crap password management practices. :)
