A long time ago I looked at KeePass too, and what cracked me up is how the name of it looked if you don't capitalize the "P"! LOL! This is a really important issue that will only grow more important as people get more and more accounts online. I also like Password Agent by Moon Software (www.passwordagent.com).

We also support OpenID, have a secure two factor authentication system that does not require passwords and more. Its worth a look and I would love to hear any feedback good or bad.

Yes, if you exported the file and backed it up just as you would any other file that method would work. Yvonne,

I love how you saw organizing in this movie. As a SATC fan I totally agree with your statement on perfection. I think the efficiency should be the goal for maintaining an organized space. The last thing I know I want to do is spend an hour looking for one particular item. I want to be able to get whatever I need and go. Great post. Lauren,

Great subject. I've been using a very small (pocket-sized) address/phone directory that I keep close by, and at this point, I couldn't live without it. But even within this, I use various "codes", so that it would take someone who knows me very very well to figure out what it all means. I've also included some of that info into a specific file, but recognize the vulnerability of doing that. Some questions: 1 -- Do you have any suggestions for software you would recommend? Or would stay away from? 2 -- You mention the importance of having a backup (point #3). If I get a password manager software program, would the info in it get backed up when I do a hard-drive back-up? And/or, I'm considering getting a web-based back-up system...would that data get backed up there too, or is there something else you're suggesting here? Thanks, Yvonne Trostli Lauren,

I recorded all of mine in an email to myself and stored it in my outlook folder. However, this is not safe if someone can access your outlook. Deb Zechini Lauren,

I am glad it worked out and I think many people would be surprised at the positive responses they would receive- in fact many would probably jump on the bandwagon. After all, most people who care about you are happy to help out. Plus, your wording has a little bit of extra sugar! :) Hi Margaret,

When I once had to do this, I had some trepidation about speaking up rather than just continuing to exercise the delete button, but I had begun to dread seeing his name on the sender line, so I knew I had to act. I wrote to the my friend that I love hearing ALL his personal news and thoughts, which doesn't leave me time to attend to mass forwarded email. I asked, is it possible for me to turn off the forwarded emails without missing a single thing from him personally, which I value so much? He couldn't have been more gracious. I never got another forward. And I remain free to be his friend without dreading the joke lists and cute photos. Thanks for a great post!
