Also, a word of caution for anyone using Excel or Word to save your passwords. Those apps can have "password protected" documents. You can pick a 1000 character password if you want, and might think that is secure. It is not.
The actual data is easily recovered without knowing the password.
There are many examples of DIY on the web. Those methods do not try to guess the password, they just remove it.
