3 Ways To Organize Usernames And Passwords

February 3, 2020 · In: Lifestyle

Q Of The Week:

“I need help with password storage! I always forget where I saved them because they’re all over the place. How can I keep up with them better?”

3 Ways To Organize Usernames And Passwords

There isn’t a right or wrong way to keep up with username and password info, it’s really more of a personal preference. So instead of telling you what I do or what I think you should do, I prefer to give you three solid options and let you experiment with them all. By trying out all three methods, you can tangibly get a feel for them and see what will work best for you and your lifestyle.

If you don’t want to take the time to test out all three, just pick the one that sounds easiest to you and jump in head-first to adopt it permanently. These three options are all great, so you can’t go wrong.

Use The Built-In Password Saver On Your Phone

Most smartphones have a built-in password saver already. You’ve probably noticed when you use the internet on your phone, it asks if you want to save the password. And when you go back to the site, it automatically fills it in for you. This is nice, but what if you are using a different internet server on another device? If you’re an iPhone user, here’s how to get to your saved passwords, and here’s the tutorial for Androids.

Create A Spreadsheet In Google Drive

You can make a very basic spreadsheet using Google Sheets for free, and it will save to your Google Drive. You’ll be able to access this spreadsheet from any device at any time, as long as you know your Google Drive password. It’s also smart to download the Google Drive app to your phone so you can access the spreadsheet without having to go online and sign in first.

**Flag the spreadsheet with a Star in Google Drive to make sure it shows up at the top of the list to make it super easy to find.

Use The Password Saver In Your Internet Browser

As far as I know, all internet browsers have the option to save/remember passwords. But just because it autofills for you doesn’t mean you don’t have access to the full list. You can pull up the entire list of every username and password your browser has saved in the settings section. Most also allow you to export this list to a spreadsheet to save in a cloud as backup.

To see how to access your saved passwords within an internet browser, just search “find saved passwords in [insert browser name here]” and go with the first unsponsored result that shows up.

    I think the best way would always be to keep important password inside my mind, but yeah as for the other any combination of tech would work 🙂

      Everyone has their own system, so I think whatever works for you, whether it’s one method or a combination of several, is the best solution for you. Thanks for reading!

Have you tried this yet? I did not expect it to wo Have you tried this yet? I did not expect it to work this well the first time I did it but now I’ll never dust baseboards any other way.
It also works well on door panels, picture frame moulding, chair rails, and even gets those hairs off back of the toilet that tend to stick and slide around when cleaning. 🙌🏼

Do you have a command center in your house? If you Do you have a command center in your house? If you’ve been planning on adding one, here are three tips for customizing it so it works for you:
1. Add a calendar so the whole family is on the same page about what’s going on that month.
2. Decide what needs to be stored in your command center and add storage based on those needs. Don’t worry about what other people use or keep in their own command center because we all live different lives and need different things.
3. Don’t try to make your family change their habits. If they’re used to dropping keys on the counter, a hook may not work for them. Instead, give them a bowl or tray to drop keys in. And if they’re used to sticking reminders on the fridge, add a bulletin or magnet board so they can put them there. Work *with* your family’s habits, not against them.
See the full project and get more command center setup tips in my newest YouTube video. All the product sources I used here are saved in the description of that video too. 🙌🏼

Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan o Can I tell you a secret? I’ve never been a fan of doing yard work. The gas was stinky, the tools were loud, and the garage was a mess. But all that changed when I switched to @HARTtoolsUSA battery powered outdoor equipment.
Now I love the ritual of cranking up music in my earbuds, taking all the tools off the wall, and the instant satisfaction of the yard going from a chaotic mess to a well-manicured lot.
No joke, our neighbor who was using a gas powered mower actually apologized for the “noise” after hearing our 40V Supercharge Brushless Mower. 😅
Between the HART 40V Outdoor Power Equipment and the Garage Rail System, summer yard work has never been easier. Find them all online at walmart.com. I also saved all the info to a Story Highlight for you too!

Have you tried museum gel before? One of the most Have you tried museum gel before?
One of the most asked questions has the most simple answer. Museum gel comes in either sticker form like these dots I’m using or in a jar. It keeps things in place without permanently adhering them to a surface. Trays can be removed for washing then put right back in with the same piece of gel.
🛒 I saved my favorite types of museum gel to my Amazon Storefront, but you really can’t go wrong with any brand.
