    While it’s possible to password protect a word document, the password protection isn’t very secure and can be broken pretty easily. Your best bet is to instead use a password manager program.

    I personally use Lastpass https://lastpass.com/ which keeps all your passwords stored on-line in a highly encrypted file. This way if your harddrive fails you don’t lose your passwords, and you can access them from any computer.

    In the past I’ve also used http://keepass.info/ and http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

    They are all great options.
