Keep your passwords safe

September 24, 2010

This year you have a lot of passwords to remember – Moodle, Google Apps, ECDL eLearning etc.

Where should you keep a record of all your usernames and passwords?

The student journal is not the best place as you could lose it. One good solution is to store them online in a secure location – use Passpack.

Sign up for a free account with Passpack and you can securely store up to 100 passwords.
