There are several password vault applications.

But then they forget their initial computer login info, or the password for the spreadsheet and they're screwed all over again! laugh

I once worked at a bank where all the tellers shared the same password for one of the systems. Once I found out about it, I reset it so each teller had their own individual secure password. They really hated me at that bank.

He got an email that he has a new match on eHarmony and can't remember his password to access it.

Brother was a computer expert who took all his passwords to his grave. Cost his widow big bucks to get a hacker to break into the computer that had all the info the family needed to survive.
IT here mandated that everyone use KeePass.
It's free.
For your master, you can use one password you'll never forget or need to write down.
Just have to remember to update KeePass when the timed mandatory password changes pop up.
Liked the program so much, we use it at home.

I have an app on my phone called Keeper. It was recommended to me and it works great. I have separate folders for work and personal stuff. (Just don' forget the password to the app!)

Keeper is free, but you can pay $10/yr for a system backup, which of course I did!

wishful thinking ...
The Keeper app is a lifesaver for me! It is worth the $10/year to have it backed up.

Wow I would have never thought to give other people my passwords to store out on the web to keep them safe from people out on the web.
This is why I am working IT at a bank and not sailing on a yacht off the coast while people send me 10 bucks a pop to store info they can't remember ^_^

if these people can not remember their password, how are they to remember the site name if something goes wrong with the favorites settings?
