I use KeePassX (https://www.keepassx.org/) which was a port of KeePass to Linux. It has since been ported back to Windows and ported to the Mac. I have been using it for years and it has served me well.
Thanks for the unintentional laugh. Makes me think of Linus dragging his blanket, and all the passwords are written on it.Chuckanut said:I am not sure about Linus based computes.
RoboFormToGo on a flashdrive worked very well - until it died.
Now, with the iPad, a flashdrive based product isn't a good option. We may get iPhones at some point, so a multi-platform product that is cloud based might work. Mobile device security concers me more than desktop computers, so I guess some reading and education is warranted before deciding what to do.
I've been leery of the cloud based solution for passwords although perhaps I'm wrong on that.
I use LastPass. Love it.
+1 - Lasspass - it works, it's secure, and easy to use
Of course, not all tech acquisitions make for happy customers. While seemingly innocuous, the deal has sparked an outcry from LastPass customers, some of whom say they refuse to do business with LogMeIn.
On a LastPass blog post discussing the acquisition, user comments are nothing short of brutal.
The overwhelming criticism seems to revolve around a few key concerns regarding LogMeIn's business. For one, LastPass won the hearts of its users because it was a pure security company, and the fear now is that LogMeIn will turn LastPass into a feature rather than a remote access product, which adds the possibility that security will become a secondary focus.
It's very simple to remove the password for Excel spreadsheet. Search YouTube for instructions. Might want to add that file to encrypted folder or drive.
All security measures are going to be a trade-off between convenience and security level. Password managers which allow you to have a distinct long randomly generated password for each site give you a relatively high security level for a small amount of effort, but they do depend on you keeping your computer free of viruses and malware.
Of course, if you can't do that, then all passwords will be at risk as well, whether in a password manager or not.
