    Sorry to resurrect an old thread - but just for the benefit of the OP...
    ...hackers won't be able to do anything, due to its very secure algorithm to encrypt passwords.....

    Lastpass - another on-line password keeper - has possibly been hacked...

    Looking at the threads in this forum about computer crashes, broken hard disks, need to reinstall Operating systems, virus infestations and general computer woes, it surprises me that folks are recommending computer and on-line password systems!

    Paper doesn't crash and cannot be infected by a virus. Paper cannot be hacked on-line.

    and is also probably a breach of banks etc T&C's which required passwords to be kept in a non identifiable way.
    Hiding them inside a password protected encrypted computer file in some way complies with this.....but writing it on a piece of paper at home would not..unless it is in code and require decoding to be used.

    I would strongly advice anyone thinking about using any sort of online password manager to reconsider. Again, look at Sony who were hacked TWICE with nearly 100m (aggregated) accounts compromised. There was another company called LastPass which only this weak had to inform their users that there was a possible security breach on their servers.. Storing your stuff online is utter madness. Dont do it, for your own sake.
