A Simple Spreadsheet-and-Script Workflow for Tracking Many Social Media Accounts

Description and use

A Python script automatically checks a spreadsheet inventory of social media accounts for weak 2FA, missing vault references, dormant accounts, and overdue password rotations, generating a daily report.

Problem

Managing many social media or ad accounts leads to forgetting which accounts have 2FA, where credentials are stored, or when they were last checked.

Outcome

Automated daily checks surface security and operational gaps in social media account management.

Workflow

• Export the inventory spreadsheet as CSV.
• Run the Python script against the CSV.
• Review the generated report for flagged issues.
• Update the spreadsheet or take corrective action as needed.

Evidence

If you manage more than a handful of social media or ad accounts — for clients, for several brands, or for testing campaigns — you've probably hit the moment where "I'll remember it" stops working.
