Objective : Suppose you have many worksheets in an excel and you want to change all the passwords in one shot rather doing it manually for every sheet, which might be very bad way to do specially when you have a power of doing it using VBA.

NOTE: you need a place to store your password, most of the timewe store it in our mind but computer doesn’t have mind, it has memory :), but the point is where, it could be a file, DB . Why not use your excel for that.

Store it in a separate sheet and make it very hidden in your code.
