Being older and kind of forgetful, I would always set my trip manager password to the same password that I used in VIPS. The only gotcha was when VIPS requested you to change the password, to be sure to go into trip manager and change that one too. Otherwise... well, you get the idea. It's a great tool, but I don't know if they still send paper tickets. One of the things I liked about that service is that you could build a number of tickets to the same destination, using different airlines, routes, etc, and have them all sitting there in a state of flux, awaiting your choosing the one you'd like. As well, you can assign a unique name to each routing you've built. Very nice indeed.
