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!

Kids grow out of clothes SO quickly, and the ones that don’t fit often get left in the closet or drawers until we have time to deal with them.
To cut down on clutter, add a “too small” bin to their room. It saves you time and keeps their clothing that still fits tidy and easy to find. 🙌🏼

Decanting is great for items you buy in bulk to cut down on cost and packaging waste, as well as to keep some foods fresher for longer. But DON’T fall for the pretty organizing videos of every single thing moved into different jars.
I have seen some people decanting lotion, peanut butter, and even toothpaste, and I’m here to prove it’s a complete waste of your time and money. ✨What’s the weirdest decanting video you’ve ever seen?✨
