+1 on Roboform. I also have an Excel Spreadsheet will all my passwords/bank accounts/etc in Excel, which is stored in a TrueCrypt volume, accessible via DropBox.

Take a look at Roboform Pro. You'll never look back. I use it for managing over 250 different passwords - all completely different, and using the maximum complexity the site in question allows. For those passwords that aren't for web sites (service accounts, application accounts, etc.) I just use a Safenote and look them up when needed - all encrypted. I don't think I could function anymore without it. (And you can print your list of passwords to keep in a safe somewhere too.) - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: Jonathan Link [mailto:jonathan.l...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2009 11:33 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Managing your passwords was (RE:Password Policy - - how do you handle this?) I thought I'd hijack this thread and ask how others manage the myriad passwords they have. I did something crazy when I got to 10+ passwords, I started writing them down. I have two lists, one is a list of sites, the other is a list of passwords. The list of sites is stored in my network share, the passwords are actually stored in a handwritten note in my wallet. Neither us useful without the other, and in the event I'm mugged for my wallet, I have a relatively convenient listing of all the myriad passwords I need to set about changing. And to answer a question, no, my work account password isnt' stored anywhere except in my head. I've also found I'm much less likely to recycle a password accidentally using this method. I have no idea where I came up with this, I doubt I'm creative enough to think of this on my own. -Jonathan On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 1:09 PM, Ben Scott <mailvor...@gmail.com> wrote: On Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 12:28 PM, Jeremy Anderson <jer...@mapiadmin.net> wrote: > Passowrd Policy is that password expires after 90 days, 10 passwords > remembered, Min Password age 0.

For some of our government interest systems, it's min age 7 days, 24 passwords remembered. That's about half a year's worth of weekly password cycling to reuse the same password. Also max age 90 days, 12 character minimum, complexity checking enabled. There are several such systems, and you're not supposed to use the same passwords across multiple systems. Oy, passwords coming out my ears. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
