The aftermath convinced me that no automated password store will ever be trustworthy. Now I have to say that I wish there was a trusted on the Internet where you could create a username and password that was safe and secure, but could be used almost anywhere as the only identity you need. Of course, it couldn't be a commercial organization, because they would eventually start selling your information to marketers. It would need to be someone that everyone trusted to do the right thing. But since no one is granting wishes, it is the spiral notepad for me.

Firefox's password master utility, on my personal computer of course. Only my wife knows my master password. And I NEVER store any password related to $$$ (bank, credit card, PayPal). Another trick I use is just a portable USB drive with portable Firefox installed, again with the master password feature. The master password is changed frequently, and all pop-ups are disabled. I also run an antivirus, ClamWim Portable, straight of the USB, whenever I use the USB drive. No way do I want a virus to load while I'm browsing. Just learn to use usernames and passwords properly. For instance, I organize my usernames based on tiers of importance. The most important tier, the $$$ section, has just 1-3 usernames and the toughest passwords. Lesser tiers, such as the newspapers and sites I read on the net, have 1-2 usernames and maybe 1-2 passwords, because I'm not as worried about those. What I am worried is any "roboform" application that fills everything for you. Don't be a lazy ass, just use your brain and prevent Alzheimer along the way! Hope this helps. You know what I use?
