How do you store your passwords?
For a long time I used a simple, like all ingenious, password system. By mail - one password, for all other services - the second. If the second one is taken away - it's not scary, nothing serious will be lost. But now the problem has become more acute - services have appeared, on which it is very undesirable to lose an account (domains, hosting, etc.). For each such “critical” service, it is advisable to make your own unique and rather complicated password. But remember them all - almost unreal. It is necessary to store in online, in case of failures and to be able to access from different computers. What do you do? The following are ideas that I thought of and why I don’t like them.
Gmail This method is used now. A minus is haphazard (you need to search all the time by letters), an application that is too heavy (to load it behind each password, especially at low Internet speeds, is doubtful pleasure).
Google docs More systemic (if using tables), but still too heavy.
Google Notebook, Google Boomarks. Already better, especially notebook, there is a plugin for FF. Minus - works on http, but not on https, i.e. can be theoretically intercepted.
')
File somewhere on FTP with encryption. Just uncomfortable. You need a separate client, which means you can’t get quick access from another computer if necessary.
Special services. A short googling gave at least two services - www.clipperz.com and www.agatra.com . Here the question of simple trust arises - although both services swear to maintain privacy, both of the rules state that if something happens, they don’t respond. Plus I really liked the warning in the rules of one of the services:
That is, if I understand correctly, using encryption, which cannot be decrypted, I break the law.
At the moment for myself, if no one tells you the best solution, I decided to trust one of the specs. services.
