  • usererror, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0keepass is the best. nuff said.
  • Mesach, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I Keep mine on my USB Drive take it with me everywhere, with a backup stored on another drive too.
  • lucas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is an excellent program. You can keep your personal key on a USB flash drive and store the database itself somewhere else, e.g. a secure webDAV, and access your passwords from anywhere.
  • thycotic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0tuxtoo,

    You need Secret Server - http://www.thesecretserver.com - it allows you to store all your teams passwords in one place and securely share them.

    Disclaimer: We make this product but our dev team also uses it and loves it.

  • reedjohnson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Best password program I only wish it had support for OS X.

  • cr0y, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I have been using it since its early days, very good, stable and clean program. I hight reccomend it.
  • BugBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0love this program i have been using it for a few months now.
  • kdkirsch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've been using KeePass since it was v .95. It is by far the best and most secure password solution available. (And it's nice that it's free, too.)
  • Photar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is built into Mac OS X its called keychain.
  • bockman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Try KisKis. Passwords, Files, anything, plus custom templates. And it's cross platform (anything that supports a Java VM).

  • majik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Snuffkin, no numb nuts. these type of programs let you use complicated passwords for any and all things you use that require a password (different passwords for each account) which is what you should be doing. but because you would then have to remember all the passwords, this is sometimes not quite practical. what this program does is store all your passwords in a easy, straight forward GUI where you can also manage them. so that your little brother gains access to your database of pw's, you password-protect the database....so in reality, you only have to remeber one password. i personally use Oubliette, which i submitted to digg ( http://digg.com/software/Store_passwords_and_other_sensitive_information_in_a_highly_secure_manner. ) but didn't get many digs :(
  • htsolutions, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Again this is an excellent tool that Kevin Rose previewed back when he was with the Screen Savers. After I saw his intro to it I went an got KeePass. Here is a place where I store a lot of truly free software items that just work.

  • faceness007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Dupe: http://digg.com/software/KeePass_Password_Safe
  • Jtrade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Excellent program. Have been using it forever and a day it seems like. Highly recommended to anyone.
  • MannaPC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I've used this program for a year and it is very easy to use and very secure. I shall gladly Digg it as it may help someone else :).
  • tuxtoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wish it had one feature though, that allowed you to have several data stores accessed by different master passwords so it could be used for a group of people.
  • krg123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0here is another one off sourceforge that I like:

  • Snuffkin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0That's kind of a stupid approach to take.
    So instead of using a different password at every different site we register at (which would be impossible to remember ourselves), we should use just 1 or 2 passwords so we can remember them but any malicious site gets ahold of them and it can use them at any other site you've registered at.
  • ,,|,_, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0Storingwriting down passwords is a very bad idea:

    "With great power comes great responsibility"...

    If you can't remember your passwords without writing them down then you don't deserve the access, go back to school, find a new career...
