Backing up card details

warehouse

Currently on my phone I have a sheet with all my card details on, the numbers to phone in an emergency and online login details and passwords, (all in a safe way so they're not obvious).

Do any of you know a secure site that I could use to keep all these details online, because if I ever lost my wallet and phone I'd be completely stuffed, so an online version would be great. I would also like to expand this to other important documents as well.

I've thought about using Google Drive but I really would like something I know is very very secure. Any suggestions or better ways of achieving this would be welcome too.

Send a e-mail to yourself?

Sending sensitive information via e-mail is about the worst advice I've ever seen on here. E-mail data would be clearly visible to anyone that happens to be doing packet capture.

I assume that google is clever enough for not sending any 'packets' if I send a e-mail to myself.

If I am wrong, you can simply keep at as a draft.

Of course, in any case the information gets sent from my PC to google servers, but I don't see how this can be avoided if the OP wants to get the file available online from anywhere unless it's stored on some home personal 'clowd' drive.

That said, I am no expert, but I don't think that my google drive is less secure than my gmail account.

If you submit an e-mail to yourself, it will go via the Google servers regardless.

And?
What "packet capture" did you mean? Was it not for the information sent from one server to another?

Use something like passwordsafe.sourceforge.net and then sync the password file to dropbox or some other cloud service.

Call me old-fashioned, but I just keep them written down on a piece of paper at home - and well hidden. Yes, I know they could be stolen, but if someone is determined enough to break into my house, with all the noise that entails, and with the alarm going off, and the neighbours coming round to investigate, and turn the whole place upside down in search of them, then good luck to them. I reckon my details are a heck of a lot safer there than they would be stored on a server somewhere, especially if that server is hosted by TalkTalk.

I don't think you need to save anything anywhere.

You can look up the contact phone number on an open website, and talk to them without knowing the card number, just name address then security questions and answers.

Do you have access to the cloud?
