How to store your passwords more secure

Use MS Word's document-protection features to apply a password to your encrypted password file, or hide your passwords.

In Word 2010, open the file and click File > Info > Protect Document > Encrypt with Password.

Apply a password to a document in Word 2010 by choosing the Encrypt with Password option under Protect Document.

Type the password and press Enter, then confirm the password and press Enter again. To limit the type of changes others can make to the document, choose the Restrict Editing option under Protect Document to open the Restrict Formatting and Editing window. You can require Track Changes or limit changes to comments. Other options let you restrict editing to specific people or groups, limit formatting styles, and make the document read-only.
