Saving client data in a private channel... bad idea??

    I have so many freelance clients, all with different EE login data, different hosting username and passwords, different…. well you get the idea.

    It has gotten unmanageable. When I need to look up some hosting or login info for a client, I don’t want to have to lug out my laptop and open my giant spreadsheet. So I came up with the idea of creating a channel on my personal site with custom fields that store all of this data. Then I could put the page that displays this data behind a login, and I could simple open a web browser wherever I am and look up the info that I need.

    My question, is this too much of a risk to my clients to have this data in my site’s database, or is EE secure enough that this would be an acceptable solution? Thanks.

    Honestly I just use Firefox to save my passwords and have Master password required.

    I only NEED to remember one (all-be-it incredibly long) , the rest fill in automatically for me.

    But the above Link is very good as well and Ive used them before.
