I do have a password-protected excel worksheet with most of my passwords on it, with a completely unrelated filename to try to disguise it.
I have all of my files on either a small USB stick or a portable USB hard drive. I have two other portable USB hard drives that I back up to (not as frequently as I should, last week I dropped my main USB hard drive, luckily no damage to the data but the case fell apart a bit). I have problems with dropping things in the morning so I need to be more careful. I also use a netbook, and everything goes into a computer knapsack which goes everywhere with me, so I am not as likely to lose it. I agree, the little USB sticks are easily lost – I actually have one that’s a thin wafer, very, very tiny and therefore easily misplaced.
My password bag is not really a ziploc bag, it’s a zippered sturdy see-through plastic file folder, with an open outside pocket. I have two of them. I also have some open-ended plastic file folders. As I get busier, I segregate my important paperwork and I couldn’t live without these – if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind for me. The Solutions Store sells the zippered ones, and although they are not cheap, they are worth the $.
LOL, sugargremlin, going shopping now to look for underwear with pockets
