Your online accounts are at risk every second of the day from the attacks of hackers who are constantly on the prowl. But setting up difficult-to-crack passwords isn't exactly an easy thing to do. Sure, coming up with strings of text, numbers, and special characters might seem simple enough, but it's the remembering part that's most difficult.

You could either go the still-risky route of writing down all your usernames and passwords on paper (and go on a frenzied panic when you realize that you've lost it) or get the myIDkey USB drive.

myIDkey is a flash drive that's definitely more than just some portable extra storage. You can actually store your account numbers and user log-in information, right on the stick itself. And when you need to access it, just press your thumb (or any finger, for that matter) on the fingerprint scanner and browse your data. That way, no one else can access your log-in credentials unless it's you.
