Some clients already maintain a Microsoft Word document or pen-and-paper list of their various online accounts and passwords. Why should they change?
Practically every method involving paper- or computer-based systems or even bank security deposit boxes are only partially safe and secure and lack confidentiality as well. Computer documents can be accessed by any number of people with access to that machine, either in its physical location or via the Internet by a skilled, malevolent hacker; the machine may also be susceptible to viruses or other damage. A paper document can be stolen in the event of a home invasion, lost in the clutter of a home office, destroyed in a fire or flood, and seen by anyone who finds it. Even a safe deposit box cannot is not sufficient since it is time consuming to update. Online services like Entrustet are the only safe, secure and private way to fully protect your clients’ digital accounts and assets.
