I’ve owned a small, 1GB, USB Thumb Drive for nearly a year now and up until yesterday it was always completely empty. Then something dreaded happened, the power in my neighborhood went out. To my dismay I was unable to do many of the things that I typically take for granted with my business computer such as checking emails, administration panels, and all around web work because I use long winded randomly generated passwords.

Normally, I keep a password protected MS Excel file on my computer with a list of passwords for other web-based applications I use. The problem was that while the power was down I couldn’t even log in to grab that file and move to another location with a different computer.

Lesson learned. I now store the password protected spreadsheet that holds my passwords as well as other documents that I often refer back to on my little thumb drive. I just attached it to my key chain and am good to go, no matter where I am.
