Thank you everyone for your input on my Password Security question. For history, here is what I requested from everyone. The original requestI can no longer handle all the passwords I must keep in my head. I'm tired of going to my 3rd banking web site, and figuring out I've entered the password for my first bank into it, 3 times and now I'm locked out of my bank, and have to reset my password... again, which makes the problem even worse, since I can't repeat passwords. I know that I can use Firefox to store my password for web sites, but this is insecure, as a couple clicks of the buttons in preferences, and it will display in clear text all my passwords. , and IE has an API to extract your passwords. I should note that both IE and Firefox do not store your files in the clear, and there is some level of security protecting these passwords... but I will never use those solutions ever again, and will be disabling it on all my computers. What I want is a web browser centric password vault, that will not only save my website passwords for me, but also allow me to use it to autopopulate password fields upon request or automatically. I also have a Pocket PC Phone that I need to sync to as well. Features

Calling all Geeky Friends,
I can no longer handle all the passwords I must keep in my head. I'm tired of going to my 3rd banking web site, and figuring out I've entered the password for my first bank into it, 3 times and now I'm locked out of my bank, and have to reset my password... again, which makes the problem even worse. I know that I can use Firefox to store my password for web sites, but this is incredibly insecure, as a couple clicks of the buttons in preferences, and it will display in clear text all my passwords. <sigh> What I want is a web based password vault, that will not only save my passwords for me, but also allow me to use it to autopopulate password fields upon request. I also have a Pocket PC Phone that I think having the passwords on that device would be a good idea as well. Submitted by tfiske on Fri, 09/29/2006 - 23:56.
I know alot of us buy things online with our Credit Cards. And I do think alot of companies do great things to protect your privacy and secure your transactions. But with recent hacks of major servers with personal data being compromised I've started taking the need to keep my Credit Card info more private. For this reason I was really glad to see that CitiCard has a Virtual Card number applet that you can run from any web browser, and gives you a Credit Card number that is good for 1 month. I generate one for every purchase I do on the web, and have felt MUCH better about my private information remaining private. |
