Keeping Your Logon & Banking Details Secure ?
16 Answers
I am looking for various suggestions on how to keep website logon details, and other "computer based" information, secure.
I am pretty clued up on computers, but just registered for online banking for the first time.
To complete the banking registration I now have an bank ID, a passcode, a registration number, two images that are displayed when I logon (for security reasons), plus three "personal" questions that I have to provide answers to (mothers name, first school, first job etc.).
I have written all this info down on a piece of paper, but now what do I do with it?
I don't want to make a Word file on my computer for security reasons, I don't want to keep the paper in my office in folder called banking (in case we are burgled).
So what do other people do to protect this (and other) similar information.
I know there are "password" programs that keep your passwords secret, but for this banking logon there is more than just a password.
We are all now using computers more and more for banking and so on, so most of us now have dozens and dozens of logons and passwords and answers to secret questions.
So any ideas welcome, perhaps we can all share how we keep this sort of information secure?
Does anyone use Trusteer Endpoint Protection ?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The average burglar isn't going to spend hours looking for every possible place that you might have written the information down (while not even being sure that you've actually done so). Simply write the information inside the cover of a book or somewhere similar - but remember not to donate that book to a charity shop!

Many years ago, when we switched from pound notes to pound coins, I went to the bank and got two brand new crisp unused one pound notes.
Unsure where to put them to keep them flat I slipped them inside a book.
But then I forgot they were there and years later tried to find them and could not remember the name of the book.
I have donated many books to charity shops since and they may well have gone in one of those donations.
I have still never found them.

I can never understand my bank, although it gives one a chance of making up a password of a number of letters, numbers and symbols, it also requests a 4 letter pin number.
When one signs in they first ask you for three different letters of the four letter pin number, what's the point of that?
It makes this secret pin number almost recognisable except for one letter.
