if you need help remembering all those different cryptic passwords, i recommend keepass.

i use it on all my computers, including my phone, keeping the database synced up with dropbox.

Mickey,

Mickey,

i still use keepass v1.19 and .kdb files, as the keepassdroid app can only read the newer kdbx format, not write it.

I use password manager too called password agent. The trick is to make sure the master password to unlock the database is very secure, i do this by stringing together 3-4 passwords that i know well to make one really long, more secure one.
