Computer Password Programs?

What computer password programs do people use?

I was thinking of using Norton IS, but I'm not sure I want to be tethered to Norton forever.
I'm sure many are like me and need to rotate passwords at some frequency for work or are logged on to many sites and access from different computers (home, work, laptop, road...).

Thoughts?

What is KeePass?
Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your website's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, website, etc. Unimaginable.

KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). For more information, see the features page.


Is it really free?
Yes, KeePass is really free, and more than that: it is open source (OSI certified). You can have a look at its full source and check whether the encryption algorithms are implemented correctly.

The Security Manager where I work told me about it. It's considered top notch in the field.

Do you use any of the plugins?

Nope. Wasn't even aware of them, but I'll check them out. Thanks.

My brother is in IT and showed me this yesterday.
I'll also ask him about plugins...

Mike I have been using Roboform for years and have been very happy with it. It is very comprehensive and not difficult to use once you get used to it. If you buy a Roboform desktop pro license ($29.95), you get all upgrades free and will never have to pay again. if you wish to use the Roboform everywhere version (storing your passwords online) it will cost $9.95 per year.

Whenever I go to a site which requires a password, Roboform pops up and with one click I can fill the username, password and submit. I has a password generator which I find very helpful for creating very secure passwords.

I used 1password pro. It syncs to my Mac, iPhone, iPad. Been great for me.
