Another recommendation for KeePassX from me as well. It works on Linux, Mac, and Windows. That was one of the more important selling points for me. As far as the safety of a KeePassX database goes, I think you are fine. I too am not a mathematical computer wizard of science theory, so I suggest this post: http://serverfault.com/questions/51895/are-128-and-256bit-aes-encryption-considered-weak I also wanted to point out that you can set up a two-factor authentication scheme. Meaning, in addition to requiring that a password (something you know) be supplied, you can also require that a key file (something you have) be specified. That doesn't really have to do with security (your "sufficient security") but rather authentication. Since there can be an additional authentication factor, the likelihood of someone being able to brute force their way in to your password database are made lower. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
