I love the Office Fact book, we call mine a desk manual,, however I would point out that placing the passwords to programs or computers etc, is in most cases a serious breech of security and sharing passwords is often prohibited by policy. Many P&P's state that sharing or giving out passwords is punishable by possible termination.



  A better approach is to clearly name an IT person, or contact who can issue temporary passwords, or authorize the release of existing passwords to a temp. Provide the phone number or extension of this individual and a list for the manual of programs or procedures that are password protected. thereby saving you from violating company policy and at the same time giving a new person a "heads up" about what he/she will need to ask IT or the tech contact to do for them.
