How Secure Is My Password and Best Password Manager

How Secure Is My Password and Best Password ManagerEver asked yourself: “How secure is my password” Let’s face it, it’s impossible to remember all the passwords that we create. We’ve got some for our personal life, some for work, some with simple words, others request alpha numeric, then came case sensitive, numbers and now symbol and on top of that, some you’ve got to change them periodically.

Can you say INSANE? Oh right I forgot to mention, on top of all those pesquie passwords, you’ve got to remember your usernames or which e-mail address you’ve used and on which site.

If you have no system in place, it will kill your productivity, period. I was consulting with clients showing them how to set up a website for their small business, that they would need various access to “online tools”. So for every site, they had been writing down their URLs, usernames and passwords on a loose sheet of paper.

I personally thought it was odd to write everything down but to each their own. Here’s why, on our next session, it took my clients about 2 hours just trying to login to their account. When they wrote down the information, like five new sites, it’s easy to make a mistake, what if the “I” is a lower case “L” or a one, or zero with “O” and so on, imagine after every 3 failed attempts you get locked out for 20 minutes.

This is when I jumped in and started advising on a different solution. It wasn’t part of my mandate but I just had to show a better way. I’ve been using a system that I’ve put together since roughly 2004, and it’s kind of too bad I didn’t think of that before, I could have saved so much time.

Forward that to today, I can no longer understand how not everybody has developed their own system yet. To the point that when I trained my new staff members at Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the first thing I did in their “Welcome Package” was to include a cheat sheet template to be used as a username and password manager.

So here’s how it worked, you open up a Word Document, create a template where you can copy and paste the information that you get. Based on my experience this is what you need to make it the most effective.

You need to have the first line as the URL or location of the tool if it’s on your computer, second you need your username, password, e-mail you registered with, and other optional ones can me account number, date, notes, etc.

Then you password protect your document when you save your document so every time you open it up, you have to enter your “master password”, that’s right, only one password to remember.

Once you have that document, you can also send it to your own e-mail address every week, month or whatever time you choose to have a backed up copy of all your passwords in case you computer breaks and yes, computers sometimes do break down, check out my other article about best cloud storage to back up your computer for more information.

The reason having a document with your passwords all in one place is that you can now use the “Find” feature, (CTRL + F) and find what you’re looking for in a snap. For a neuroscience explanation of why my method works, here’s a cool video that explains how your brain and memory work.

Now with a system in place you can take a strong password generator and just copy paste the password without even trying to remember what it is. Beautiful!

How Secure Is My Password and Best Password Manager

Of course that’s just one method that I’ve been personally using for a long time but there are other ways too. A friend of mine is using another free service that’s called LastPass.com where all your websites, usernames and passwords are stored “in the cloud”.

He says it’s the best password manager and form fill that he’s found. After his recommendation, I’ve been giving it a try and it seems promising but I’m still going to use my old ways just because it’s been engrained in my DNA by now and it also acts as a backup. lol

If you really want something more secure, you can upgrade for like a $1 per month and use this in conjunction with Google Authenticate where, you put in your username and password into the site, then Google sends you a text message with another code that changes like every minute. This is almost like the volt’s combination in Ocean’s Eleven casinos. Depending on how big your business is, I think it’s way over kill for me but again, every business needs are different so no judgement here.

Another best password manager site that a lot of online professional marketers are using is RoboForm.com. Just like above this company is a really good alternative, it also saves all of your websites, usernames, passwords and also lets you form fill.

Just to clarify, form fill is an automated way to automatically fill out the forms you see when you land on a page that requests to sign-up. Essentially, you fill out your personal details in the form fill section once and then with a click of a button auto-fill everything.

If you prefer an alternative that’s open source then Keepass.info is probably the best password manager for you.
