Best place to keep all of your passwords safe!!

Competetive

Hi all!!

Just thought it would be nice to share with you where I keep all mine passwords!:j type in passpack in Google.

Its really good and free (if you have under 100 passwords) i have 20 so I'm ok, but am terrible at rememberring passwords etc, so here is the perfect solution, I love it:T
FYI I'm not working for them lol just love the website and features and want to share my excitement:rotfl:

So you are going to entrust all your passwords to a single third party organisation? That really doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

And ok until you lose intenet connection or the website has a problem or the site gets hacked?

Personally I use Keepass - installs locally - creates an encryption key during install - can use a key file if you want - totally free.

Just don't forget your password or you are stuffed.

I will disagree with you on this. Firstly, internet connection nor hackers won't be able to do anything, due to its very secure
algorithm to encrypt passwords to which only you hold the key (your Packing Key!). So, I don't share my passwords with the 3rd party, its in a network cloud, if that makes sence. Just to log in it takes few steps (including typing a memorable case SeNsetive sentance) before you can log in.

It is so secure that, if you forgot your passkey, you will not be able to request it with "forgotten" button, as the company does not store that data, therefore does not have the acess to your passwords.

Hope it helps:p

The Keepass...I've never heard of that one before, but if it works for you, than great! :T

Using a thirdparty to store all your passwords and login details is idiotic.... no offence mate! think about it, if you go and read their T's & C's youll probably find that they can change their T&C's whenever they choose without notifying you about it. In that case, thay may very well sell SOME of your stuff, perhaps not the pword, but indeed the email addresses of people that are actively using them is worth something. In addition to that, look at Sony, they got hacked and 70 million usernames and pwords are now out there floating about... now imagine if you had ALL your username and passwords in somewhere that is a hell of a lot less secure than Sony!

Just a thought.

I know where you are coming from..and I am aware about terms and conditions (they have to say that really!!) because they do not have any of your details including your email, so cannot email for any updates.

Thanks anyway

The reason I trust it and have it, is because my parter's company have been using it for now 2 years and happy with it, but I do appreciate your concerns and it is right to point out things, so people are aware of things before using them.

I thought of having it in Excel, but thats stupid!, I thought of printing it out, but that stupid too, what if I loose it or someone sees it?:mad: Arrgghh I just want one secure place OR better memory:D

Keep them somewhere else, maybe in a text file on a USB stick you keep on your key-ring. If you can remember your username, then you'll probably be able to come up with a password you'll also remember for your most frequently accessed site.
