Re: program to store passwords

["David J. Bianco" <bianco () jlab org>]

Hi, Chris.  You're right about KeePass.  I started using it a couple of
months ago, and it's got some pretty forward-thinking features.  I also
like that there are versions for both my desktop PC and my PocketPC, so
I can sync the same password database file and use it wherever I am.  This
is a good product, and I'd recommend it for anyone who wants secure password
storage.

If only it supported my iPaq's fingerprint reader...
