I like to password protect files that contain passwords. Then I just need to remember the password.

Absolutely!  I have one such file, on an encrypted drive, password-protected, that I use to keep the historical info for all those sites where you have to keep such records.  Last time I checked,  it was over 27 pages long.  I've had that one file for over twenty years now.  Page and a half a year?

I carry, on  a lanyard around  my neck, a 128GB flash drive, that contains an Excel spreadsheet, with all the accounts I have to log in, user names, and passwords.  Currently over 300.  The Excel file is password protected, as well as the flash drive.  I only HAVE to remember 2 passwords.  

It is impossible for any person to remember all the different usernames and passwords needed, to do a business like ours.

I also have, encrypted backup files for all my tax programs, and other important documents, on the flash drive as well.  If I leave the house, it goes around my neck.  I have a complete backup of all data files on a separate external drive at home as well.

AVG's update messed with Windows Explorer or another computer. It was not encrypted, so I was able to perform a system restore. My work computer has been limping along every since I got it back from shop. I was continually having to force stop Explorer and run a new one or restart the computer totally when it had done enough work or sat too long (whatever windows decided was enough) . I uninstalled AVG and after some research, I installed Comodo. I don't know if that will help, but at least Windows has been alive for several hours. AVG reinstalled the update on the other computer and it went crazy again. I may install a different antivirus on it, to see if it works better with Windows 7 than Comodo. I know that one of these days I am going to have to upgrade Windows, but I already have an Acer laptop with Windows 10 and I've never been in love with it.  I keep seeing that 10 has it's own issues.
