There are plenty of benefits to working at home, but a few draw backs as well. One of the biggies is security. Virtual work requires that documents and other “work” be distributed through email, online collaborative project sites, or flash drives. The risk that the information could be lost or stolen increases as its passed around from person to person.

Passwords help prevent information from getting into the wrong hands should the documents get lost or stolen. But putting passwords on documents, such as Excel Spreadsheets, has one major problem; what if the password is forgotten? Or what if one of the members of the team leaves without giving the password?

Forgetting a password on a web-based site online simply requires a request for a password reset, but forgetting a password on a document could mean that document is never viewed again. This is even more challenging on Excel documents that can have a variety of passwords that lock the entire document, and/or individual worksheets.
