Passwords protecting and remembering

[chrisbruce]

I have about 20 different password that I use reguarly for banks poker sites etc etc. Even though they are all based on a similar theme I struggle top remember them all.

Is there a trustworthy program you can lock/store them into for easy controlled access when required??

thanks for any ideas

I have a little notebook labelled "Dana's Book Of Secrets". It's never failed me yet. Until it gets nicked. Oh, actually, I've got no money. So it's ok. Yay.

I use PGP and DriveCrypt.

It'd be easier for someone to torture me for the passwords than to spend the time trying to crack them.  Both of which would be a waste of time, as the effort would outweigh the reward.

I gave Kin a long list of all my password..he has one of them pornographic memories and all I have to do when I need access to anything is tell him and he gives me the password. Easy and safe

It's a 2 year sentence for not revealing your encryption keys to the Police if they ask, and also 2 years for telling anyone that this has happened...

But of course this shouldn't concern you because if you aren't doing anything wrong, why would you need to use encryption?

Erm, if the police asked as part of an enquiry - then I'd tell them.  I was talking about some dodgy Dutch bloke (called Boldie) who might try to thieve the money from my bank, etc.

Why do I need encryption?  To store my banking information, my passwords, and my donkey porn collection.
