You might consider a password manager using encryption security. Our household uses the popular Lastpass www.lastpass.com which is free as well as a favorite security extension for both it's safety & convenience.
When using Internet Explorer, browse while using a sandboxed (virtualized) environment www.sandboxie.com which is a free program providing an effective precaution originally developed for just that purpose; and the reason "-ie" was added to the end of sandbox(-ie)! ;)

Thank you for allowing me share, and thanks for sharing your own very impressive choices!:):)
