How to Manage Website Passwords for Free

Most internet users try their best to avoid losing the password to a website. No one wants to go through the entire process of searching for a website password or having to reset it. Keeping the same password for every website is not always an option and it will not keep you safe from stolen information. With these simple suggestions, you will be able to manage website passwords for free--without any difficulties.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Internet access
• Website
• Computer
• Word processor
• Spreadsheet processor

1. Create a spreadsheet for your website passwords. This will help you easily and quickly manage passwords for multiple websites. Instead of trying to remember your chosen password, you will be able to open a spreadsheet and have instant access to it. Doing this will also help you to keep your important information organized when needed. Most computer users have access to a free spreadsheet program to help manage a budget. Instead of just limiting this tool, expand it and use it for password management for websites as well.

2. Open a blank word processing document and place your website passwords into it. Computer users that do not have experience with spreadsheet documents can take advantage of this free tool. You will be able to easily and conveniently place all of your new website passwords into it and update them as frequently as you choose. Organizing this essential data will stop you from frantically searching for hard to remember passwords.

3. Stick with a password pattern that is easy to remember. Using the same password over and over is not always an available option. If you create a certain password pattern to use, then you will be able to create a password easy for you to remember. Others will not be able to guess your secretive passwords because they will be unable to read your mind.

4. Use free versions of online password managers. There are multiple online applications that will provide you with a free version with basic features. Unless you have an endless number of website passwords, most users can benefit from using this sort of application. Taking advantage of a trial version of online password management will give you the chance to test out the management features

5. Choose to save passwords when prompted by your internet browser. This will give you the quickest and easiest way to manage your website passwords. If you are using a computer that is in a public place and others will also have access to, then this is not the best solution for your password management. Doing this will allow anyone that accesses the computer to also have access to your website passwords. This option works best for a computer that is not shared with others.
