@Ben and All – I’ve since removed the Google Doc. I just didn’t use it that much. Plus, my company just bought me a jump drive. I’m going to place it on that secured. Thanks for the comments.

Still seems unsecure to me. How about a USB drive with KeyPass? Attach the USB stick to your keychain. Or do you have a SmartPhone or PDA phone? Use the password manager software on the phone and sync to your PC for a backup.

I second the KeePass comment. I use KeePass and I also have the KeePass file on an encrypted flash drive, which may be going a bit over the top.

I have nothing specific to gripe about with Google, but I have been in the software industry for over 10 years, and the stuff I’ve seen people do over the years is enough to make me wary about putting ANY financial info on the web…

BTW: Does anyone else thing 50 accounts is A LOT?! Just curious…

I too had too many online account id to remember… until I bought RoboForm.. a auto form filler as well as a password manager software. It remembers all the id/passwords of all my online accounts and automatically fill in the field and login for me when I went to the specific website. It’s a breeze.
I have it on a thumbdrive and I carry it along with me.

@ Justin – 2 options for you:

1. use an encrypted jump drive.
OR
2. keep the Google Docs method and always put a standard false digit in your passwords when you list them for storage (e.g. change the last digit by 1)

My concern is believing, on face value, the truthfulness of Google’s reassurment.

I like your method. I have used Google Docs before. I was actually planning on using KeePass, which is a free encrypted tool for tracking your info.

I have a couple other documents that might be good to use Google Docs for. I will look into this and give it a try.
