08 December 2016 The only safe place to keep away intruders for unauthorised access is your brain no one can access without your permission but Tue problem is so many types of password to remember some with compulsory numbers some with special characters some with caps and lot more and some you have to change regularly and while changing your password you cannot use previously used password sometimes life becomes hectic because of password and pin. We do not have any choice but remember the password. You can store your password in an excel file with password protection and save it in your google drive. While saving do not save the full password only give the starting and ending letters of the password or some letters or some hint which you only can recollect your password.

08 December 2016 It is easy to hack an excel protected file. So never ever store full password any where only store some hint which you only can join the dots and recover the password. VK
