A printed spreadsheet or document is a tried and true method (I certainly have done it in the past). With more people using mobile phones and tablets to access info, I do think having an app can be a more efficient solution for those folks. Mobile devices continue to serve as time-saving tools that help the user stay organized, and that role includes securely storing passwords that are frequently needed to quickly access information.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The best solution for managing passwords depends on how an individual typically accesses websites. If it&#8217;s a site they visit daily, with information they monitor daily, they will probably appreciate the time saved by having a stored password within the site more than they fear others hacking into and altering their information. If it&#8217;s a site they visit weekly or less frequently, they will probably prefer to store the password off-site, electronically or paper-based, and manually enter their login information each time.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I appreciate your response and we have made it available here for others to benefit from.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Have a thought or two about articles on this site and in <em>Association Adviser eNews<\/em>?<em> <\/em><a href=\"mailto:associationadviser@naylor.com?subject=Association Adviser general feedback\">Drop us a line<\/a> or use the commenting function at the end of every article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week, we received a thoughtful response to Marcus Underwood&#8217;s &#8220;Total Recall&#8221; article: A couple thoughts related to your post I\u2019d suggest an \u201cold school\u201d option is to create a password protected spreadsheet and then print a copy and put it somewhere safe.
