After very strong recommendations by @andreasklinger and @mscccc I swapped by low-tech spreadsheet for 1Password and OMG I have not looked back. It's freaking changed my life and I swear by it. All my passwords are locked up and I can access them across all my apple devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac) with ease. Plus, 1Password helps recommend lovely, super complex passwords that it then saves for you, so you don't have to remember a string of gibberish while keeping all your online shopping accounts safe.

This was shared by @om earlier today, a tool that scans your cloud (e.g. Gmail) for sensitive information like social security numbers, so that if you do get hacked, you're less exposed.
