How Do You Keep Your Passwords Organized?

Like many Warriors, I use the paid version of robot forms.

HTH

i'm usingg roboform. it's great - saves me remeebering or writiig down alll those article directories !

In my head. Lol, for real though. Organization is not my strong point. I also have a legal pad, so outdated I know.

The best way is to use a great free little app called Keypass. It is very nice and secure plus you can have a portable version on your stick when travelling.

Spreadsheets!

Roboform

In my head and in notepad files. Probably not the best way, but it works :-D

Another vote for RoboForm...I couldn't live without it

mine are in my brain and my fingers do the walking as they know which keys to hit

I use xmarks for firefox, have a note book with various account details in writing, and also am considering roboform soon, heard nothing but good reviews of it

I most say that Roboform is one of the greatest tools I have had. It not only remebers your passwords but automatically fills in your information at the click of a botton, which in turn saves you a lot of time when filling out online information.

I have heard of other tools like Roboform, But for me Roboform is the golden ticket and I would recommend it to anyone else looking to save time and keep passwords.

What's frustrating is when different sites have rules about password length, or special characters. So you have to use lots of different passwords and usernames.

I'm a programmer so I wrote my own encrypted password program for fun.

Is there any issue with Roboform getting hacked or information stolen. I have a zillion passwords and I need more than my "lil black book" .

With Roboform Pro. Try it and see for yourself.

Password Manager + Automatic Form Filler for Mac OS X is a great Mac/iPhone option.

I use myvidoop.com AWESOME tool been around a few years now and it's free.

I use Roboform Pro and also have them written down on index cards stored in a index card box. I switch computers frequently and don't have Roboform to go yet so I just use my index cards when I'm away from my main computer.

I just use a plain old text document, nice and simple.

RoboForm Pro

You don't realize how much time you are really wasting -- keeping all of your passwords in your head, on spreadsheets, on a legal pad, etc. -- until you're able to use RoboForm Pro.

It saves an INSANE amount of time and is very easy to use.

Get it, and after you have been using it for just a short time, you will be kicking yourself, wondering why you didn't get it long ago. You'll think of all the time you've wasted and wish you had it back.

But how safe is it?

Is the TOGO version so that the pw's are there in case something happens to your computer and to travel with? Or how are the passwords saved in case of a computer blow up or something?

Roboform paid version.

Last Pass with Fire fox browser. It is really easy to use once you play with it a little bit.
Personally, I didnt like keypass or roboforum myself...

And Last Pass is free

Roboform for me. But it's so much more than a password vault. It remembers credit cards, company tax ID, and a lot more.

I especially love the "safe notes" feature. I boilerplate my standard bid responses and just click to complete bid forms. Couldn't be as productive as I am without it.

Another vote for Roboform Pro.

I don't know how I lived without it! It also has a random password generator, which I use a lot.

I write down all my passwords. I use to use a program till it screwed up on me lost all my passwords so for me i just write them all down

That's a bit risky don't you think? If you were to somehow lose that information via a computer problem etc. Then what?

Roboform....used other manual and free apps before but just can't get them organized

I use Roboform and MS Excel

I especially like LastPass since it is a 2.0 app and I can access it from any of the many computers I'm near in a days time.

Wow - looks like I need to buy Roboform! Seems to be the winning vote.
Personally I bookmark URL's and their relevant (personally encrypted) passwords into a nice little address book that never leaves my side. Its good for portable access to the numerous websites that I can't live without

I cannot operate without my Roboform Pro!

Plus it has a free app for taking my user names/passwords with me on the go through my windows mobile based pda.

Thanks for the Roboform tip. I purchased it yesterday and am very happy

Eikon, with upek protector suite (biometric reader /w software). When I get to a site with a password, I just swipe my finger (if I have more then one account for the site...I choose it), and it puts in appropriate user name and password.

RoboForm of course! I think it's a NO brainer... Cost less than $30 and you can googled for a coupon, think it saves you $5. I am always using it, whenever I sign up any new affiliate merchants, new social websites, etc.. really saves you ton of time instead of looking for the passwords that are written on your little notpad or hidden in some text files on your hard disk :p (these are what I do last time prior to getting RoboForm)

Roboform. Nothing beats it.

I remember them all.

Lol and no, I'm not joking. About 2 years ago I used
to write some of my passwords on a piece of paper, which
I hid in my bedroom. My brother found it and he thought
that it would be fun to log-in to one of my accounts.

He did a mess and I had to deal with the consequences.
From then on, I started remembering all of my passwords.
And not just the passwords on my accounts on the internet.
I remember everything, passwords of my bank accounts etc...

How do I manage to remember them all?

I have no idea. If you ask me now, I will not remember
all of them. But when I open up a login page, I will... lol

Sure, sometimes I do forget one of them (I'm human) and if that
happens, I just reset it (I rarely forget them though).

Another RoboForm user here. I couldn't work effectively without it.
It would be useless for me to rely on my brain to remember my
passwords

I just post them all on a thread in the Warrior Forum and I can find them easily.

I use Password Agent (paid version) and I'm happy with it, though APPARENTLY the thing to use is RoboForm. LOL.

I really need to check that thing out. Do they have a Mac version?

Last I checked I was approaching 190 password entries... and I don't even have my banking stuff in there! argh!

To tell you the truth, I don't put my financial passwords into RF. I have other ways of dealing with them -- that ALSO avoid any possible keyloggers.

Not sure, Aztec, but if LastPass was around a few years ago when I wrote my RF report, they hook into the keyboard processing, which means it doesn't do you any good if someone manages to get a keylogger installed on your computer.

If a keylogger gets installed where RF is used, it STILL won't see the passwords, because RF does not use the keyboard processing software.

This is an important security issue, imo.

Using WORD.After all of the comments>>OFF TO GET ROBOFORM

I and most of the people I know use LastPass with the firefox extension, which is awesome...

Are there any advantages to using Roboform instead?

Hmmm I downloaded roboform but didnt add passwords....then I surfed the net and I guess I was in some unsavory neighborhoods because after I ran a virus scan and had a virus.
I deleted virus and computer was then clean but should I uninstall roboform and reinstall or would I be good to go since computer was clean after deleting virus?

It appears that RoboForm has quite a following. I have been painstakingly documenting all my logins in Excel. While it does take more time to enter, it is fully portable and surprisingly well organized. I often use multiple computers (work/home/on the road). Can Roboform help me there?

Lastpass is excellent and Free

Xmarks (formerly foxmarks) will synch your bookmarks AND your passwords.

both of the above are for firefox.

the advantage of them is 1. they are free, 2. you can install the plugins on any computer you use (e.g. you bookmark a website at work or create a new account andthen later that night at home you want to access the bookmark and/or sign in to the account). if you use these plugins you are golden.

oh and here's a useful tip (credit to Lifehacker, tips and downloads for getting things done) about passwords. create a STRUCTURE for every password you use so you can always remember it.

e.g. lets say your name is Bob and you were born in 1983

you might have "bob83" be the first part of your password and then the first 2 or 4 characters of the website name after that. imagine you're signing into hotmail, then the password would be "bob83ho" for that site. And for aol it would be "bob83ao"

note - that's just an example to illustrate how you can create a consistent structure. if you use a word and a number and a set number of characters from the website, it's really easy to remember, should have solid security and always work. oh, and i've found it best to use the 2-4 characters of the website from what shows in the address bar - instead of the website name. that can cause confusion and then sign in problems - exactly what we're trying to avoid.

I use my rolodex (yup, I know, old skool). I have thought of roboform over the years, but now, with all of these glowing recommendations, I'm going to make a real effort to migrate to roboform. Thanks for the info!

Well I downloaded the trial Roboform. It does look easier to manage than my black book which is jammed with tons of passwords. Thanks for the recommendation.

Are you all comfortable putting your bank passwords in there also?

I have been using keepass for years now... have used roboform and did not like it.

initially I used Firefox, but now I use roboform even though I think firefox is more user friendly.

ROBOFORM. Works like a charm.

I am using a tool called Keep It (a) Secret! - 2002B
It's free. Just google it and you will find many sites where it can be downloaded from.

Great post, thanks as it answered a question of mine. Roboform looks awesome thanks peeps.

I have been using Roboform Pro. for more than a year now... works great for me.

Roboform Pro!

I keep them in my big, beautiful brain. Turns out that this is a terrible idea and I am constantly losing passwords and usernames to really vital accounts. Don't do what I do.

I will have to look into Roboform Pro. Seems to have the Warrior seal of approval! Thanks folks.

I use excel. Dont ever use your ipod or iphone... you may loose it... speaking from experience
