Passwords…
I have to deal with a lot of passwords. Server passwords, website passwords, personal passwords, and more. It used to be very difficult keeping track of all this information. I would commit them to memory and hope I could keep them straight. Now I am much more organized. I use KeePass. KeePass is an open source password manager for Windows. You set a master password on the KeePass databse and store all the indiviual user names and passwords inside.
The Database is encrypted. You can also store the database on the network so multiple people can have access to it. KeePass can create multiple databases (for exapmle – one for personal and one for work). KeePass is extremely flexible and a great password manager.

Oh man, do I need this. I’ve thought about using something like this many times, but have never done it. I’ll take a look at this and see if I can organize my life. I’m a “Forgot Password” hound…

Is this a better progran than Roboform password manager?

Roboform is deigned for passwords for websites. KeePass is more of a general password manager, KeePass is also opensource which is always a plus in my book.

If you want a general password manager that syncs with your PDA (PalmOS and Windows Mobile) I would recommend trying out eWallet from Ilium Software. It’s not Open Source or free but it’s superb and enables you to carry passwords with you everywhere.
