It's trivial these days to use something like RoboForm, which stores your passwords in an encrypted form (and on a USB key, too), as well as give you the option of generating "strong" passwords on the fly, etc.
there is a plugin for firefox to do this as well (that is, generate and insert good passwords automagically). i use a simple command line util to munge /dev/random for most other passwords. is there a good list of password management tools available for win/*nix anywhere? this would be useful.
Also, IBM-Lenovo ships a utility called "ThinkVantage Password Manager" with their Thinpad laptops which basically does the same thing.
thanks, this sounds interesting and worth looking into. _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
