When I used a PC I used "PassWord Manager XP" (http://www.cp-lab.com/) and absolutely LOVED it. It stores them in an encrypted database, has a random password generator, can be installed to a usb flash drive and is only $30 for the full version. When I switched to the Mac I tried to find something similar and have settled on Wallet ( http://www.waterfallsw.com/wallet/ ). Its good but doesn't have all the features that I started to love in pw manager xp. If you have to go free and don't mind loosing a few features, Bruce Schneier has a free pw manager called Password Safe ( http://www.schneier.com/passsafe.html) -----------[ 5/16/06 2:32 PM [log in to unmask] ]-------------- > > Does anyone use password software, like Passkeep or Whisper, that keeps an > encrypted file of a user's passwords?
