Post Password Management
Okay, so its getting to that point that I keep forgetting what password and username go with what site and so on, and its getting frustrating !

So I was wondering if anyone knows of a good trustworthy site that I can securely save all my username and passwords so that I can access them from anywhere on all my devices.

Or if anyone has a better system that would work in a similar fashion.

a) Notepad application on your iphone or smartphone.
b) Actual notepad.

I think no matter how trustworthy the site, I'd feel like I was setting myself up for something bad by having all of my usernames and passwords in one consolidated place online.

For real tho, I just use a small notepad that I keep in a drawer at home, and then double them into my iphone. One or both resources is always with me.

you could also do the same thing with a flash drive as long as you can password protect files on it

I do write some of mine down, but I write it so that I know what it means without it being what the actual password is. For example, if my password is pizzawave, then I'd write down foodwater.

1Password. It can sync between all your desktops, laptops and mobile devices. It's not free, but it's pretty much the best out there.

Just 'reply' & post them here. That way you will always know where they are.

I use MS Access. Can be password protected as well. All the sites and stores and other stuff neatly listed as I have grown to the realization my memory will fail me one day.

Nate does the old tiny notebook with cryptic handwriting. Alas, I have an easier time accessing the notebook than he has of finding that file with all my passwords in the labyrinth of my PC.
