Question

Remember a short text and recall with a password

Oct 8, 2013 10:38PM PDT

The Apple 2 (remember it?) had a small program which enabled you to type a small amount of text and recall it with a very short string. As an example: To save you writing out your email address such as "adsl5mkl@tpg.com.au" you could type "sac5" and the above email address would appear. Is there such a program available for Windows ?

While wonder about the password angle as you already logged into your PC, are you asking that each app ask for passwords over and over? Does not sound like a good experience to me.

Thank you for your help.

I have not yet used your advise, but I think that it will do the job of remembering some strings.

To remember my email address is for the purpose of opening some social networks and journals, where I need to use my email address and a password (which Of course I keep to myself)

Many thanks.

I have downloaded but not used the program as yet, but it most likely is suitable. Thanks.

For something similiar I use Hotkeys
Oct 18, 2013 12:03PM PDT

So I click the windows logo key & a letter and get whatever I programmed it to do. I got it from CNET. I think it's called Auto Hotkeys. It types anything you want. Some of mine are pretty long with several paragraphs and links. I have one setup just for my email address. I used all numbers 0-9 and all 26 letters A-Z.
