+Overview
+We all have bank accounts, credit cards, insurance policies, healthcare accounts, the list goes on.  Many are online. There are so many of these, each with its URL to go to for access, phone numbers, account numbers, and requiring a password to access--one that is complex and hard to guess.  The challenge is how do you keep track of all of this information in a way that is secure, yet easy to access, that's stored in multiple locations so it's unlikely to get lost, and that you can make available to your next-of-kin if necessary?
+We will discuss a solution that your presenter uses to solve all of these challenges in a cost affordable--free--way.
