Lose your credit card and need to call them? What's the number you call or your account number? Need your wife's or kid's social security number? How about the name of your car insurance agent? What about the dozens of personal and work-related usernames and passwords that you have to have at your fingertips? I can't live without these accessible to me at all times and a database that is only available on-line or at a PC won't suffice. So I carry on my person at all times a tiny print-out of a Word document that contains all of these. The print-out is only a few square inches of paper with the smallest font that I can read and is folded up and placed between two small rectangles of refrigerator magnets and placed in my front pants pocket (i.e., not in my wallet). This keeps it practically unknown to other people, with me all the time, and practically waterproof. I update and print out the password-protected Word file as needed. Short of having this information laser imprinted on the inside of my cornea, I cannot come up with a more accessible and reliable scheme.
