I organise my docs into decently structured folders (in my own Nextcloud instance now, previously in gdrive)

For example, I have payslips going back to 2015 (before then it was paper payslips and I never scanned / saved those) - not that they're needed anymore, it's just something I've done every month since then

Payslips are often password protected PDFs

Thank you past me for putting a "PAYSLIP PASSWORD IS IN 1PASSWORD.md" file (that just contains the name of the entry in 1password, though it's also just "$CompanyName payslip password") in those directories to remind me where it is

YAY FOR PAST BRUNTY

@brunty I removed the password from mine because I knew Iā€™d lock myself out in future otherwise. Your way is much smarter and simpler. šŸ¤¦šŸ»

@Drarok I mean, not having a password on them does make life simpler!

I'd need to look into something to bulk remove passwords - but just storing the password in my pw manager with a reminder works for now šŸ˜…

@Drarok wrote a Go app to decrypt all PDFs found in a given folder - so I could just use that on the actual folders if I decide the passwords are too annoying :D
