Word is a terrible way to store passwords, it's encryption is easy to crack. Get 1Password instead, it integrates into your browsers and syncs to iOS devices as well.

I'm using Microsoft Word to perform the encrypt/decrypt function, but launching Word every time I need an unfamiliar password seems a bit cumbersome.  I did a quick Google research and found that people are using Disk Utility to make a password-protected disk image.  That seems even more cumbersome than using Word.
