How do you manage your passwords - Page 3

My answer: Very stupidly.

I use two basic login names and three basic passwords.

I can't memorize any more than that!

I use Password Plus by Dataviz. It is awesome because it works and syncs on a Palm, Mac and PC. So, I can have all my passwords wherever I need them (I have at least 100). It also generates passwords with defined complexity rules. As a result of having this, all my passwords are very complex.

I keep my passwords on Dashboard stickies....encoding them with hints so they remain secure...like this hint: suph (superhero) for the password ba+man. This way, I can have lots of unique passwords that are just a function key away.

I wonder if what I do is safe enough. I have very difficult random passwords and copy them to Word. I set the font color to white and then zoom the screen a little. Then I drag them to the desktop and they become picture clippings. I change the name to something innocuous but that tips me off to what they are. If I open them, I only see random dots.

I keep them in an encrypted disk image although the image password is in keychain, so it opens straight away.

When I need them, I open the disk image and drag them to the correct field. I usually close the image immediately.

I don't have to worry about this in a corporate environment, it is my home and school solution.

I figure it works to avoid keyloggers or other types of snooping while on-line, but maybe my security is just based on stupidity.

I use a combination of Wallet by Waterfall Software, and keyhchain. Wallet keeps all of my serial numbers, and other web login codes. Plus, Keychain stores the login/pass combo on just about every website I visit.

Simple, my brain.

Can we get a link to this Scott?

I have been using 1Passwd, and it's good.. but still not as good as Roboform that I used for years on the Windows box.
