I get this question a lot from my users: ‘What is the best way to manage and save all of my passwords for computers, websites, etc?’

What do you use?

LastPass is often mentioned when this subject comes up. Not got around to using it myself

I’ve tried Password Safe…it is ok.

4

I use http://keepass.info/ for my personal stuff.

5

We use Keepass around here… Free Open Source, encrypted Password storage.

I switched over to using about a month ago now. Its great for any web-based login. You just have to remember the main password to activate the plugin and then it will offer to fill in credentials whenever you come a crossed a page.

This is great if you want to break the one password for all sites habit. It also offers to generate passwords for you as complex as you want them.

It is free but they offer the premium stuff for $1 a month (like phone plugins and support)

Another happy KeePass user here. I’ve put my own passwords in it, but I’ve also let it generate ridiculous passwords for my important stuff. I also took it a step further and generated passwords to use as secret question answers, or to store fake answers I come up with for them. At work, I also keep software keys in it. Just be sure to backup your database :slight_smile:

I use a base password that I tailor to each program. I just add a couple meaningful letters to the end of my password to that I can easily remember what it was for that website/program, and then I don’t need a spreadsheet or anything like that anymore. If your password changes every month, then add meaningful numbers to the end to represent the month, etc. Just an idea. Otherwise you can just use an encrypting tool like KeePass http://keepass.info/

Keepass. Haven’t been able to get any users on-board with it at this point. I use it all the time.

11

I keep a post it note of all my passwords on my monitor for general stuff. Then all my super secret stuff I keep on notepads under my keyboard where no one can find them…

+1 Keeypass :smiley:

I use post it notes also only with a big magnetic sticker to hold the password list to my tower for security.

Oh, and a flash drive with a biometric reader. Thumbdrive brand.

Users don’t generally have more than 3 or so to remember.

Try Secretserver. Worked very well for us. Lot of folks swear by KeyPass

14

KeePass is great. I would highly recommend it.

15

+1 for KeePass. They even have an iPhone equivalent.

16

Keepass on PortableApps, one db for work, one for personal. Sync the thumb drive to another using RichCopy. Backup to hard drive using PortableApps built-in backup.

Only problem is the Mac version doesn’t have all the functionality of the Windows version, boo!

17

Keepass is a good one!

18

Keepass. There’s a mobile edition for Android so I use both the PC and mobile version, backing up the file from my droid regularly and using it as my primary file.

19

I have used Roboform for a long while. Not free (though there is a free trial version).

I just write all my passwords on yellow sticky notes and tack them to my monitors… when I’m out of yellow sticky notes, I just take a pencil and write them on the plastic parts of the monitor… no big deal!! LOL ROFLMAO

I still love to freak people out by trying 4 or 5 different passwords and then watch their faces when I figure it out… typical tries are: password, summer, winter, spring and fall and an all time classic abc123
