What’s The Password?

Tired of managing all those passwords?

If you spend any time online, you’re likely selecting a user name and password at least once a day, right?  Whether you’re shopping, visiting online forums, or viewing photos of your nieces and nephews, the quicker you can access your passwords, the more productive you’ll be.

But finding those passwords quickly can be one big pain in the you-know-what, because we’ll find ourselves wanting to use the same word for all of the sites so we don’t forget them, yet for many of us, it can be a challenge and time suck to manage several different passwords.

Some of my clients choose to track their passwords in an Outlook contact card, or a Microsoft One Note tab, or even in a mobile device (although I don’t recommend that one unless you can password protect it).  The shortcoming with each of these solutions is that they are device-specific, so if you are away from your computer or mobile device, you’re out of luck.

If you are seeking a simple, safe place to keep different passwords, check out www.passpack.com, a secure site that holds all of your passwords in one simple format, and the great news is, it’s free! 

Just think – no more sticky notes on your monitors or unprotected excel spreadsheets.  Check it out and let me know what you think!
