one that will not lose all the passwords like firefox when firefox acts up?
or maybe one that keeps all the passwords and logins to sites,
and just has one master password to get it to work?

hello,
anyone out there.

Hi flehunting,

Check out this thread . You should find the links useful.

I think the discussion dropped off as suitable applications had been identified for both PC and PDA use, and there has been no further input from the original poster. It is assumed that the apps mentioned have done the job.

Personally, I use a password-protected Excel spreadsheet saved under an obscure name. I save unames and passwords, along with connection details, signup dates and any other info I may need. This is on a system used only by myself, and I don't tend to access secure sites from other locations.

I would guess that your circumstances require something a little more user friendly and more secure. Hopefully someone will stop by here with a personal recommendation.

Hello flehunting,

It is a shame that the OP has ceased reading this thread as I feel there may have been some discussion on the wisdom of keeping a complete set of passwords on a removable drive.

It would seem that members of CC have little experience in using free password managers, and the suggestions offered are apparently unsuitable. Hopefully Roboform will satisfy flehunting's requirements.

Very true - if a password manager serves the purpose then people will use it. If not then they will search out something else - it is really a clear cut yes-or-no decision.

As an aside, the spreadsheet in the Open Office suite provides similar functionality to Excel and is free.

I wish I would have seen this post sooner but I will add my 2cents anyhow. Better late than never.

I use the free Access Manager - free. http://www.accessmanager.co.uk/
It holds thousands of passwords and easily configured. I have been using it for about 6 months + and have no problems with it. It is a little slow to open, but other than that I am very satisfied with it. You can add the link to your site in "notes" as well as your notes: account #, phone #, anything you want. Space for a passphrase. It don't fill in forms though if you need/want that. Check it out.

Something one may not think about is a keylogger on their system as they are typing their password into their banking site. This one can protect against that by the way you configure it. The pay version, which I haven't gotten yet, has an onscreen keyboard to click instead of type.

One note. It is built on .NET Framework 1.1. They are working on the next version built on .NET Framework 2. There's also a pay ($24.95) Pro version with much more functionality, backup, etc.

Can yu tell I'm sold on it.

Thanks for the info, Jud86.

I will take a look later today - sounds interesting.
