The '6' key on my keyboard is starting to not work. While I have never given consideration to which number on the keyboard is the least useful to me, I know the six

Here are a list of items I am having great difficulty entering:

• Ainsley's birthday (to add her to the insurance)
  
• Caleb's birthday (to confirm him as a dependent)
  
• My bank account number (to pay bills)
  
• Either credit card number (to buy things I don't really need)
  
• Various PINs (various reasons)
  
• My social security number (to check my credit history)
• Various account numbers, including our mortgage and all of our utilities (to pay bills)
  
• My street address (various reasons)
  
• My phone number (various reasons)
  
• Neesha's phone number (various reasons)
  
• And, of course, there is always the Mark of the Beast. Not that this last has presented any issues to date, but you never know.
