The link is to a Password Manager program. What's to understand?

have a look at KeePass (here on CP), but I think it runs only on Windows

[hairy_hats]

KeePass.[^] Even runs off a memory stick. Edit: repost. Just too slow.

[Maximilien]

my mistake ... :-O

I use Post-IT notes on the side of the screen. Works for all operating systems, are easily backed up onto additional paper based resources and can be disposed of in a fire without creating noxious substances.

I've used keepass[^] for a good long while now and it works great. I keep it on an encrypted thumb drive, using TruCrypt[^], making it safely portable.

You're a programmer - write one. It certainly wouldn't be hard to do.

keepass gets my vote too. There's an unofficial linux port[^] that works fine for me. (Or the beta of version 2 is apparently mono compatible)

How about you send me an email with all your userids and passwords. I'll manage them for you. Whenever you need one, just send me another email and I'll reply with your info. Wow, this sounds like a great business opportunity. :rolleyes: :)

Been using it on Windows now for years and love it.

While Karl's suggestion (of his own app) is good, KeePass has a more standard UI. So unless you are used to WPF UIs with non-standard control shapes and colors, you'd want to use KeePass. Neither of those would work outside Windows though.

Not true. Keepass has a Linux port. Plus installations for Pocket PC, J2ME, Black Berry, PalmOS, PortableApps Suite ... and you can always get the source code and roll a port yourself. ;P

I agree with Post-It notes.

That is what I use. I recommend it too.

I didn't get any requirements for the signature

Cosmo Kramer would be perfect for this. Why don't you just tell me your login and password?

Had to look him up. Never knew his first name was Cosmo. Now I know to whom you were referring, I can but concur.

I've seen some that I disagree with, those horrible pink ones for example. Or that one that time that said "You're Fired". But mostly yes.

Check out PasswordSafe[^]. It's primarily Windows, but there are related projects for other OS's. It was designed by Bruce Schneier[^], a recognized security expert in the industry.
