Is a spreadsheet enough for Steam and Epic alts?

A sheet can list usernames. It usually cannot keep recovery email, MFA, and status on the same record without turning into another mess. A vault card is that record.

Does this replace the alt-accounts checklist?

No. This post is the library model versus a spreadsheet. The practical per-alt checklist lives on the organize gaming alt accounts guide — same site, different job.

Should banks go in the same library?

Keep payroll and banking in a general password manager if you already audit one. LoginScout is for the gaming pile you own.

How to organize gaming logins without a messy spreadsheet

Most collectors start with a notes app, then a sheet, then a password manager that was never designed for linked consoles and recovery emails.

LoginScout treats every login as a library card: platform, credentials, status, and the links that matter — tracker pages, Discord tags, recovery inboxes.

Start with three categories you already use (Gaming, Email, Social). Tag the rest later. Favorites should be the five accounts you open every week, not everything you own.

When a season pass expires, mark the account Expired instead of deleting it. Future-you will thank present-you when the store email still matters.

A spreadsheet usually grows extra columns until nobody trusts it: “which Roblox was the SMS one,” “this Epic is the old laptop.” Identical fields on every card are what make search work. That is the library model — not nested folders named after moods.

If you need a tick-box pass over every alt, use the organize gaming alt accounts guide. This article stays on why a sheet fails and what one card should hold. Do not clone the checklist here.

Keep 1Password, Bitwarden, or Proton Pass for money if that is what you already audit. Split the gaming pile into LoginScout so recovery mail and MFA sit beside the launcher login you actually type.
