Our institution has been successfully using Dashlane, which syncs across multiple devices for a fairly nominal annual $20 fee.  Dashlane installs an extension in your browser which not only autofills passwords, but also suggests new randomized passwords for websites and stores receipts and credit card information – we find this very useful for budget reports.

There is also a free version you can try before you do the annual subscription.

Good luck!

I've recently started using a KeePass database (http://keepass.info/) that can be shared via Dropbox. It's a nice, portable program, and is open source, so no fees. It's handy for when I'm switching terminals while wearing the IT hat, and better than the Google drive spreadsheet I had been using to to keep track of all and sundry.

Cindy, 

I did something simple--I have an alphabetized Rolodex that I list everything on their own card...I trash the card when it gets changed or is no longer valid. 

It's locked in my office.  Even when it's out and on my desk, no one messes with it because no one seems to use them anymore! ( at least here).

This goes in the category of modern problems.

 

We’re an organization with 12 staff members.  We seem to be amassing more and more passwords for various online services and websites – as well as passwords for our phones, passwords for our computers, passwords for our alarm system.

 

We used to keep a paper list of passwords, managed by our finance person and  secured in our safe.  Somehow as we changed finance people twice, that list became stale and unusable.

 

Now we’re wondering if paper is the best way to go – of if we should use one of those online “lock box” apps for passwords.

 

How do you manage passwords at your place?
