Do You Feel Safe With Your Passwords Stored In The Cloud?

Do You Feel Safe With Your Passwords Stored In The Cloud? Many of us have the hardest time remembering all the passwords we have for the different kinds of accounts we have: bank accounts, credit card accounts, email accounts, etc. So, to cope with this problem, many of us create one or more Word documents containing the different passwords we have. This way, all we have to do is open a document to see what we had set our password as and not have to spend 5-10 minutes thinking of what the password could possibly be. And considering all the time we spend out of home, we store our password documents in cloud storages like Google Drive and Dropbox so that we can easily access the documents through our mobile devices whenever we’re out.
