Hello everyone. I know this question pops up every once in a while but
I'm wondering what people from the MHVLUG are using to deal with all
the many passwords that we have to keep today.
Another way would be to use a service online but that would not work
when I need it off line.
I'm thinking it might be interesting to put passwords in a USB key and
protect them some how.
I've been using Keyring for Palm OS (http://gnukeyring.sourceforge.net)
for quite some time (over the 3 Palm units I've had). Unfortunately,
it's development seems to have stagnated (just as the entire PalmOS
seems to have stagnated), and JPilot is the only application able to
synchronize with it (*if* you can get the hotsync to work under Linux).
My next PDA might be a Blackberry, since it can be gotten _relatively_
cheap (at least used ones should be cheap) and there's active
development there.
From my own research on this, Keepass (http://keepass.info) seems to be
the best overall option. It runs on LOTS of platforms, synchronizes
nicely between them, etc. It seems the only platform it doesn't run on
is PalmOS.
