This is great and is really very useful. I know LastPass too. It’s just too bad I didn’t know about these stuff back when my Paypal account was given limited access because of alleged intrusion in my account as per Paypal. I had to change my password, provide proof of address and stuff to lift the limitation and fully restore my account. Thanks for the post.

Thanks Alex for mentioning RoboForm.

I have been a user of the RoboForm2Go for a number of years now.
It has many features I like:
U3 drive compatable- starts when USB drive inserted
Multiple pass cards for any site
Password gen with variable length
Personal data storage for instant form filling

And when I got it, it was only $20

BTW, when I sign up at any site, I build a code phrase into my name that I give.
So, instead of a username of “terry” I would use “terry_alex” or “terry_howie”

Doing this, will allow you to track who is selling your email.

I dumped Firefox for Opera some months back cos of speed and bandwidth issues and I do miss using Roboform to manage my passwords. Now I just make do with Opera’s Password Manager which is a bit buggy as I have to backup my passwords list every now and then should in case they suddenly disappear.

Excellent advice. I have been using roboform for quite a while both its portable version and the instillation and this program have proven useful many times. There are variety of freeware open-source alternatives available , but one should pay attention where he/she downloads them from as their code may be modified if not downloaded from their official web site.

Keepass supports strong passwords of course. Moreover, strong encryption schemes are integrated, and it’s 100% free

I like the fact that a password manager lets me generate a different password for every account. So I’m not massively compromised if one is discovered.

With automatic login from a single key press, I’m sure I save hours a day!

I personally use KeePass.

No worries Vince, hope you can find a software that works for you. trust me, life is so much easier once you don’t have to remember all your logins.
