How to manage your username and password the easy and secure way

Written by Jerry Yu


Have been an Internet user for more than 9 years, I have 100's of logins and passwords to keep. I'm paranoid. I'm now even more paranoid after I joined YMMSS because I use online payment systems on weekly basis if not daily.

I used to use Microsoft Excel to manage my usernames, passwords, and other registration information, both online and offline. Excel is not safe because there are programs to crack password protected Excel workbooks and I even crackedrepparttar spreadsheet and VBA source code password for one of my old Excel financial models I developed. Today I still use Excel to store some personal information but I only saverepparttar 118565 Excel file on my another PC that is not connected to Internet.

In my article "6 Essential Steps to Protect Your Computer Onrepparttar 118566 Internet", I highly recommendedrepparttar 118567 award winning RoboForm. Free version of RoboForm (http://www.roboform.com) does come with limitations such as 10 Passcards only. If you don't want to buy repparttar 118568 Pro version (costs $29.99 as of my writing), there is an easy-to-use freeware (see below) you can download right now and manage unlimited usernames and passwords.

Download freeware Password Safe from SourceForge.net -repparttar 118569 Open Source community.
