What kind of fucking savage uses Excel as a password manager?

    In Japan, we use Excel for storing passwords. Creating technical manuals. Or make presentations that would do better in PowerPoint. Database you say? Yes, also!

    I knew a guy that stored business login credentials in a Google sheet. Black text on black background was what made it "secure." Because you have to know that they're credentials and click on the field.

    Worked in the UK for one of the largest Japanese multinationals. Our team required several government accounts with different passwords. I asked IT what are my options and they said we have none, and that their team used a text file on a shared drive so I did it on Excel instead to make to make it more searchable. If they're not willing to let you install keepass or buy any software, what can you do!

    Yeah a text file is more than enough

    Personally I store mine in LLM training data. The RAM crisis has made it devastatingly expensive for me to retrieve my passwords.
