The more passwords you have to store (memory or otherwise), the more it becomes a challenge. Sure, there are software programs that are made for this purpose, but you can simplify your "password life" just using this system:
In Excel, create a worksheet with the following column headings:
- Item: in this column, you will enter whatever the topic is, for instance, "Supplies"
- Location: in this column, you will enter the actual web address as a usable link, like www.staples.com
- User Name: enter the user name you use for this item
- Password: enter your password
- Comments: enter anything you want to remember, like "Minimum order $50"
When you are done, store this worksheet in a secure location and place a shortcut to it on your desktop. You've just saved yourself a lot of memorization and have a quick resource to access these important items!
