Security of an individual doc. (1 Viewer)

[Lord Ac]

I have a document that I have typed important passwords and numbers, etc ... is there some way I can secure this file from anyone by me ... ie. somehow putting a password on it?

Ta,
Ac

hmmm. i didn't know word had such a function. I usually use a winzip file containing a zipped file(both encrypted ). so no one can find its contents(ie. what files it contains).

 

[thejosiekiller]

you can save the document to a zip file and that has encryption options

Passwording is a bit overkill. If they are THAT important, just memorise them. And if they aren't worth memorising, who gives a shit?

 

[sladehk]

Maybe he just has too many passowrds to remember

It's better if you use a free program that is dedicated to saving passwords, such as the one fatmuscle recommended. They offer much better encryption than Word.

LoL. Thanks again guyS! and yes, there are heaps off passwords to remember ... its all my internet banking numbers and codes and passwords from various banks and funds ... so i cannt memorise them but i do want them secure.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

The types of protection can still be hacked. The most safe way is to write them out on paper and hide the sheet somewhere

Actually, the safest place is your mind. If you can remember names, numbers, and facts for School/Uni/Work, then surely you can remember your passwords, too.

 

[fatmuscle]

internet banking numbers, passwords, all that jazz

use keepass!!!
it's easy to manage all that stuff.

just store ur file somewhere safe. ie, not on a website
u can even zip and password protect that file, and chuck it in a fire-proof safe.
