Like the USB solution and it's something I plan to use. :) Edit: The only shortcoming is with smartphones that might not connect with a USB flash drive. * * *

Looks to me like a good system as any. I would make sure the "free space" on the drive where your document was deleted from is wiped, just to be on the safe side. howtogeek.com or some other of your applications on your PC might do it. I still use Steganos. I need a password manager as I have a memory like a sieve, it's a "write only" memory. All my 240+ passwords are 12 random Alpha numeric characters. I did work for a the fraud dept in a bank once, and its horrific how many people still write down their bank info on paper and put it in their purses etc. Not recommended, as the bank might not cover any loss if the card is stolen or cloned. The problem people even included my relatives and I had to think about this one carefully. One method is a information overload technique. My best solution for them was to copy out a phony shopping list with the numbers carefully embedded in the list but not easily read. There are loads of ways to do this if you think about it. The list is laminated to make it last, and these little cards have been used for years now. Any thief whole stole the card would have to spend a long time trying to figure which were the real numbers and how they should be read. The plan is, by the time they had tried lots of combinations, the cards would have already been stopped. The attempts to try and find the right combination of numbers would have been logged by the bank too.
