TIP OF THE WEEK

Create a Password Protected "Password File"

Either using a document format or a spreadsheet format, keep a complete list of all your accounts (Financial , Health related, or Businesses) and your usernames and passwords accociated with those accounts. Then protect this file with one master password which you will never forget (you may want to write it down and keep it in a very secure place). Here's how.

From the file menu, choose "save as", and then click on the "Tools" drop down and select "Security Options" or "General Options" depending on the program you are using. In the window that opens, type in your chosen password and click OK.




Now each time you or anyone tries to open this file they will need to type in the password (twice) to gain access to your master list of passwords.
