I also struggled with finding a reasonable method for documenting my various passwords and accounts info. For a couple of years, I had a document that I kept updating and storing in my safety deposit box at the bank (and in my will, stating where my safety deposit key was kept). But that was cumbersome, because getting the up to date list to the back was a pain.<br /><br />Since then, I still keep a word doc updated, but I secure it with a password, gave my wife a copy for her computer (she knows the password of course), and then saved a copy in the cloud as well as on my tablet and phone. But then I still have the problem of letting my executor know the document's password, should both my wife and I die together.<br /><br />So I will now get LastPass and try it out - from the reviews I have now read, it has 3 features I am looking for: making the online password management much more secure and straigthforward; allowing me to store "notes" on their site, that will be encrypted (I would keep all my financial account info in there); and designating one or more people (i.e. executors in my case) who would be able to access the LastPass file (they would request access, and I have x days to deny; of course, if I am deceased then they gain access after the x days).<br /><br />Thanks for your hard work!Jeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4402283548766807872.post-5459040048262677002018-07-30T21:35:32.710-04:002018-07-30T21:35:32.710-04:00Thx Cnd Small Biz Owner.

It at least took some of the sting out of managing his estate after he passed away. <br /><br />My hubby and I use LastPass and it has been an excellent tool for us. It can generate passwords for you that are way to complex for hackers to guess. However, it's critical to NEVER forget the master password, because without it, you will never get back in to manage the password vault and would then have to reset all your passwords at each website.
