I work at a school. I have access to a label maker. I put “NewPasswd = hunter2” on the inside of my work laptop because Im immature. Caught 2 people trying to login with it. (worst part is only 1 was a student…)
nah i just initiate password recovery everytime i need to log in.
If you’re relying on Excels password, the cops can submit your xlsx file and a subpoena to MS and they will open it for them.
“Excel is the second best tool for most jobs”
- From the passwords.doc file on the desktop
I’ll just write my password (which is the same for all my accounts) on a post-it and stick it to the monitor then.
Are you my mom? Are you going to call me when that post-it note disappears and ask me if, for some reason, I know what your password is?
What kind of fucking savage uses Excel as a password manager?
Worked in the UK for one of the largest Japanese multinationals. Our team required several government accounts with different passwords. I asked IT what are my options and they said we have none, and that their team used a text file on a shared drive so I did it on Excel instead to make to make it more searchable. If they’re not willing to let you install keepass or buy any software, what can you do!
In Japan, we use Excel for storing passwords. Creating technical manuals. Or make presentations that would do better in PowerPoint. Database you say? Yes, also!
The kind of savage whose company is too cheap for a LastPass enterprise license?
Mine just uses Keepass.
It’s ok, it’s only on the hr lady’s computer and she always locks the door

My wife.
You would be appalled to deal with c-suites
Next you will tell me they are using Excel as a database.
You want me to store my passwords on servers owned by like Amazon?
Is this gatekeeping?
