Password Overload!

Passwords, passwords, everywhere passwords! Experience is the best teacher....  I have just discovered that I have misplaced my laundry list of passwords. Admittedly, my way of keeping up with my passwords may be antiquated and not secure; therefore, do as I say and not as I do. Nevertheless, this reminded me of a past customer sharing his family's experience with not being able to access their loved one's necessary accounts after the family member passed. While grieving, there are many things that family members have to deal with after a loved one passes and trying to access their online accounts does not have to be one more frustration added to the list. Do you have a plan in place? In this digital world we live in, there are secure ways to have your password information stored safely. I would suggest checking with an estate attorney who may be able to refer you to a reputable company. This article sums it up best: Digital Assets

i have a list of all my password with links on my word document but it cannot be opened w/out a password too. My daughter and husband both know this password to access the others. I carry this around on a flashdrive with certain files on my keychain for about 4 years now. it's worked great so far.
