It’s a good program.

I’m also a big fan of the portable apps. I don’t really need them much because I have a computer everywhere I go pretty much…but if I don’t, I have the portable apps ready to go.

Nix.. welcome to ShanKri-la! I am a big fan of portable apps and the U3 line of apps as well. I have to checkout KeePass though.

This would be in respect to Matt’s comments about an open source password manager “KeePass”.

Just in case anyone is interested; there is a portable version that you can carry around on a USB device.

PS: A whole slew of open source apps that have been made portable.

Did you forget your Firefox master password?…

Should you forget your Firefox master password, you’ll need to reset it. My long-time friend and blogging cohort, Karthik, has written a great post on how to do just that.

no kidding guys…

I cannot remember all my passwords, and my situation is worse than most being that I’m an IT guy. What does this matter? Well…I have to remember all my personal passwords along with all the passwords to access everything at work!

How do I do it? I don’t, I use a free open source program to do it for me.

Check that program out here.

Pedro.. I am in the same boat! In fact, lot of banks are starting to give a SecurID card as an extra form of security measure. Not only do you have to remember the username, password and a pin number, you have to remember where you put the damn card!

The thing about passwords nowadays is that you need to remember so many of them. I don’t know how expensive a retina scan or finger print device(probably there already) would be. But I am sure only that is going to save me in a few years since my memory is failing.
