RE: program to store passwords

["Davis, Christopher - IT Audits" <chrisdavis () ti com>]

Just a quick note for those using Password Safe - You might like the new
features introduced into keepass, built off the same core as password
safe. 

KeePass picks up where password safe left off. I think you'll be
pleased:

http://keepass.sourceforge.net/



Best regards,

Christopher

I use Password Safe, too, and am comfortable with its security and
encryption standard. It's default settings aren't best practices, but
at least this freeware gives you the room to modify those settings
(e.g. clear clipboard upon minimize/exit, lock database upon
minimize/exit, etc.)

The average password cracking tool could crack say a standard
encrypted archive, but it probably wouldn't be easy to crack Password
Safe's key db.

If anyone has tested any other tools, let me know. Cheers!
