Printable password tracker Excel template (XLSX format)
Use of usernames and passwords are the most common way to prove your identity when accessing websites and online services. Therefore, the use of strong and unique passwords is essential in order to protect your identity and assets.
Why Do We Need So Many Passwords?
Password re-use is bad. If you use a single password in every website you visit, a hacker would have to break just one password in order to attack all other sites you are using and eventually will acquire access to your entire digital life. The best practice is to use a different password for each website (or Excel file).

How Can I Manage So Many Passwords?
You are probably already aware that a strong password is made up of a long random string of letters, numbers and characters. Since passwords should not be reused on multiple websites, we are supposed to memorize a large number of passwords that are impossible-to-remember by design!
A low-tech solution to the password list storing problem is paper, because is simple, reliable and everybody knows how to use it. People (or 3-letter agencies, if you are a Snowden supporter) coming in all over the internet cannot get your passwords that are on paper!

CAUTION: You can be locked out of your encrypted documents, if file passwords are lost!
Needless to say that paper has its dangers and a washing machine is one of them. But online threats from strangers are a much bigger concern. Paper cannot be hacked by brute force or dictionary attacks. Technical computer problems cannot suddenly erase the contents from a sheet of paper.
On the contrary, software password managers are vulnerable from such problems, among other issues.
Password List Storing Tips
Obviously, don't leave your password organizer in plain sight, where people can read or copy it. Store it in a secure place and a consider storing a copy in a safe location should the master list be destroyed in a disaster e.g. fire, flooding etc. A fire-proof safe is ideal for storing important documents.
In case of an emergency, your relatives can easily maintain your online accounts on your behalf by reading login credentials from a sheet of paper, than having to figure out how to access your computer and your software password manager.
Make sure the passwords written on paper you carry with you are meaningless and unusable by other people, if revealed e.g. paper log is stolen. Substitute characters in your password with others that you can remember or easily work out.
Password Tips
Never disclose passwords to anyone else. Do not send passwords by email or store them inside files without encryption. Change your passwords as soon as a leak is suspected. But otherwise, changing passwords just doesn't provide an additional security benefit, especially if you are using a unique strong password on every site.

Statement From Apple About The Nude Photo Theft
We wanted to provide an update to our investigation into the theft of photos of certain celebrities. When we learned of the theft, we were outraged and immediately mobilized Apple’s engineers to discover the source. Our customers’ privacy and security are of utmost importance to us. After more than 40 hours of investigation, we have discovered that certain celebrity accounts were compromised by a very targeted attack on user names, passwords and security questions, a practice that has become all too common on the Internet. None of the cases we have investigated has resulted from any breach in any of Apple’s systems including iCloud® or Find my iPhone. We are continuing to work with law enforcement to help identify the criminals involved.
To protect against this type of attack, we advise all users to always use a strong password and enable two-step verification. Both of these are addressed on our website at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4232.
