Anyone using Password Safe?
« on: February 28, 2006, 05:46:59 AM »
I'm kind of intrigued...

I have far too many passwords... Or at least I should. I don't, because I have such problems remembering them...

It seems like it might be a good way of storing them.

I use Passwords Plus.  I'm not an IT guy so don't know how truly safe it is, but it has to be better than having passwords written down somewhere.  One feature I like is that you can have Passwords Plus generate a random password.  Also, you can almost always drag and drop information stored in Passwords Plus to your browser.

Just so that you can see another endorsement (as in he is the original author and links to it):

Never ask a man where he is from. If he is from Texas he will tell you. If he isn't there's no need to embarass him.

I'm thinking of switching over to a thumbprint scanner.
