Password Manager
-
Can anyone recommend a good free password manager? I'd prefer it if it was something that can run on Win, OSX, and Linux; but it isn't a necessity. Thanks in advance.
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: :)

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

That is what I use. I recommend it too.
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

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.
