how do you manage your user names and passwords
As we add more and more social network sites, search engine homepages and
email addresses we accumulate more and more user names and passwords. My exercise books are driving me nuts - I can't sort them nor search them easily. Does anyone have a good template for managing this information easily. -- lizziep |

how do you manage your user names and passwords
I just keep mine in a word document (search is possible) and I password
protect the document and the document is saved on to a thumb drive. That makes it physically protected (disconnected from the computer) and even if it is lost, it makes it difficult for most people to read. "lizziep" wrote in message ...

I do the same thing but mine is stored on my PDA using the Memo feature, both on the laptop's program and within the actual PDA, both password protected. Currently only 202 logon names and passwords and counting. It is simple to copy and paste the user name and password from the PDA's program into any web site I try to go to. The same can be accomplished from within a Word document on a thumb drive (but isn't as easily portable if you are using a computer that may not have Word on it.) |

I should have indicated that as it's loss would be a real problem. I have one digital backup (also a PDA and one paper copy (it is a word document) -- Joseph Meehan Dia 's Muire duit |
