Where do you keep all your passwords?

By coincidence, a freebie - for the next 23.25 hours, anyway.....

Use a Firefox browser, it stores them for you.

I've too many to keep in my head.

Storing in browser is ok until your PC gets borked.

 

I use Password Plus. I program I bought from somewhere ages ago for not a lot that runs on the PC and syncs with my PDA. So I have my passwords with me all the time in my PDA.

 

You set a single password that you need to decrypt the program's database.

I have a spreadsheet on a memory stick and use http://sourceforge.net/projects/bcrypt/ to encrypt the file

 

There must be other encryption tools out there but I've found this one quite easy to use

I know one place I would not keep the location of all my passwords, on this thread.

For the world to see where I store all my passwords.

I don't use that many Forums or online things so mine are in my head. Sayings, a combination of letters and numbers associated with each word. For some reason I never forget them... Sorry!

If you use a mac, keychain access does the same thing but it synchronises with the .mac server so you can access them (if you know the master password) from any computer with internet access.

 

Very useful when you have two machines too as it syncs passwords centrally so both have access to the same list.

 

I suppose there might be something similar for the pc?

This may well be a stupid idea but I keep all mine in a Word document which then has a password on it to view or edit the file. I know what the "master" password is (and it's different from all the passwords in the file itself).

 

I also have the passwords partially starred out just in case someone did get into the file, but there's enough there to jog my memory e.g. "She***** ****esday"

I use old phone numbers and car registration numbers, so nobody could pick them out even if they know all of my family now because none of them are still in service. I've also got a half a dozen passwords which started out as random strings of letters and numbers which I learned rather than changing them to something more memorable, so I can use them whenever I need something really unintelligible.

 

I'm lucky that I have the sort of memory that doesn't forget this sort of thing, but I do have a backup, but I'm not revealing where

I keep mine in my head. Recently I was surprised to discover that I am so predictable that my OH and youngest son had guessed my most used password many moons ago. I've now changed it.......
