Keeping Passwords Safe

[pigman1]

Anyone out there have problems with passwords? I was getting more and more concerned that my passwords for various important sites were not as safe as they could be, especially when traveling. I did a count the other day and found I had 103 passwords for sites I visit. Some of these were innocuous such as common forums, but others were quite critical for such things as bank accounts and investment houses. Keeping these safe, suitably complex and changing them when necessary has become quite a chore. I’ve tried numerous password managers but most were awkward to use or downright unusable.

I recently found DASHLANE clickey on line. It’s free, relatively easy to use, private, and has received a number of good reviews. What I like is that it enters your password and username into your sign in page automatically. In addition, you can have it generate complex passwords or come up with them yourself. It will also store non-password items such as credit card numbers, safe combinations and secure notes you want to keep private. It doesn’t work perfectly on all sites, but overall I’d give it a B+ to A-

Other than being a happy user, I have no interest in the company or any of it’s products. Check it out if you have some of the similar concerns as I had.

I use Roboform for the same thing. It isn't free, unless you have only a few passwords. I've got a couple hundred, or more, passwords and can't imagine trying to remember them.

Like you said, it is nice not to have to enter CC numbers, addresses, ID's and passwords. Just one less thing to worry about.
