Where/how do you store all your passwords and user names?

[kalanamak]

I am not doing a good job of this. Where do you keep yours, how secure, how do you organize them?

[Emmy]

in my mind! :p

If you use Firefox, go to Tools-> Options and find all the saved passwords there. (That only works if you have been clicking (save password) when the pop up box comes up.) To make a backup copy you need to download this password exporter add-on.

 

Then I just keep a copy in Excel. I also have a handwritten copy of the ones I use frequently.

I keep them in an Excel file that has a tenuous connection to the subject...and they're in invisible ink. That's all I'm saying about that. :D

[Mabeline]

Not in an external hardrive that will lock up and die a week after you organize them and get rid of any stray papers that have the passwords on them.:glare:

If that works for you, you must have a lot of extra room in there! ;) I've tried that and just can't fit in another thing! Of course, most of what's there isn't very useful. I just can't seem to get rid of it to make room for useful stuff!!

For unsecured-I keep an address book with the websites listed and the passwords/user names/key codes etc.

 

For my most secured-in my head :0)

 

 

I had them saved on my computer and lost them all during a crash...never again.

Along with storing several of the non-secure ones within my Mozilla Firefox browser application, I have always kept a mini spiral bound notebook that has all my ID's and PW's. I write them down AS SOON as a new one is created, even if I think I will remember it. And I use pencil because I have a practice of changing the info from time to time as an added security.

 

In my little notebook I don't list the website of the secure sites, just a reference to it that I will understand. The notebook is always in a safe place that is handy for me to reference whenever I need it. Believe me, having this has saved my life a time or two.

I store them all online in a private Google spreadsheet. I have a lot of computers and travel often so this works out perfect, I have secure access even if I'm out of the country.

I use Roboform. There is a free version that stores 10 passwords. The pro version stores unlimited passwords and only costs $29.95.

 

It does more than just store passwords and is so worth the money. It stores unlimited log ins (user name, password, etc). It stores all of your other information for filling forms. When you come to a page where you have to fill out all of your information, like name, address, phone number, birthday, etc., you can fill it out with just a single click. And you can do this for unlimited identities and users. It can also store all of your credit card information for you for online purchases. And, if you are worried about losing the information, you can print a hard copy of all of the information easily. Oh, and it automatically lets you know when there is an upgrade, which you get for free. Here's a list of all the pro features.

 

For security, you can have a master password that must be entered to access information. You can protect individual passwords as you wish. So, nonsensitive ones can be used with just a click and sensitive ones will require the master password to be entered first. The protected information can not be accessed with the master password so if you forget it, it is not retrieval by any means. It is also encrypted so that if you computer is hacked or stolen, it is very difficult to get to if you have a good master password.

 

I've been using Roboform for probably 6 years now. I love it.

I have my computer remember them. I also have a small address book I put them in. I organize them by website name and include my user name and password. I also include account numbers or any other useful info.

I keep them in a notebook, but I remember most of them. I write them down mostly for hubby who can't remember them to save his life.

We're just the opposite! Dh looks at me like I'm hopeless when I ask him, yet again, for the password to something!

Been using it for years, never had a problem and love it!

[Ellyndria]

In my head.

 

I used to use a little notebook, which has saved me a few times, but I have not kept it up. I don't like the idea of storing them on the computer anywhere, so I would go back to the little notebook idea if I needed.

[cathmom]

like I'm going to post that on a completely public forum LOL!

non-important sites: rolodex

 

important sites: somewhere secure - and not on the computer

I store them in Password Agent. I not only have to remember my own passwords, I have to remember my clients' passwords as well. In my case, it's worth the $25. (If you keep fewer than 25 passwords, you can get the lite version for free.)
