Password Management Systems for Teachers

With more and more online tools requiring specific and unique passwords, I am finding it very difficult to remember my username and password combinations (and, of course, has nothing to do with my age). I have found several free web-based services and apps that will securely store this information and it’s easily accessible. Below are some of my favorite options:

  • PassPack– Web based version, can be viewed on any computer or iDevice. There is a PassPack Offline and PassPack Desktop that can be downloaded as well. It will choose a password for you and has a notes section to record past passwords. It does require a username, password and packing key phrase (the phrase cannot be recovered if forgotten)
  • Google Docs– Can be accessed on any device or computer. Requires Internet connection, unless you have it synced in Google Drive on your computer or iDevice.
  • Password protected Excel-can be saved in Dropbox. If you add to favorites, it does not require internet connection

*Disclaimer- With the exception of Google Docs, these services are entities outside of NEISD. We cannot provide troubleshooting support. Use at your own risk.
