#315396 - 22/10/2008 04:39 Password safe software for Windows?
Roger carpal tunnel Registered: 18/01/2000 Posts: 5682 Loc: London, UK	I'm currently using Password Minder (from here) to manage all of my website passwords. It's quite a good app -- I can take the data file with me on a USB stick, and the password data is protected with a master password. Before protected mode Internet Explorer, it would even type the passwords into web forms without displaying them. One problem: it doesn't work on Windows x64. So, does anyone know of anything similar? _________________________ -- roger

Works on loads of devices/OS's Keepass is fantastic. I really need to get more proactive about keeping passwords in there. There's also a portable app version of Keepass. _________________________ Matt

I use that too, but Keepass can travel with you to any computer (not just your own). But Foxmarks is just so easy and "set it and forget it" that I just leave the password saving to it. Good suggestion. _________________________ Matt
