Keeping Up with Passwords

I cannot even remember the password to my blogs half the time, so any utility that helps me keep up with them is supremely useful in my opinion. I do use Windows Passwords and Firefox helps me to keep up with them, but I use multiple computers so that can be tricky too. Regardless, Lifehack is reviewing some options today:

“With the proliferation of web services — there’s a new one out each day, it seems — it feels like we’re always creating new accounts, each with a different username and password.

The easy options — using the same password each time or writing them down on paper or in a spreadsheet — aren’t exactly the most secure. In fact, security experts strongly warn against these options as they leave you vulnerable to online theft.

So what’s a web surfer to do? If you’ve got more than a dozen services, you’re not going to remember all of them. It’s time to look into a password manager — and if you’re a cheapskate like me, you want a free one.”
