      I have seen many solutions and tried most of them.  But when serving multiple companies the amount of passwords one has gets astounding.  It is hard to find a way to securely store them, but also have the convienence of looking them up.

      What solutions do you recommend?

        I know its a very lo-fi solution, but I use a black moleskine notebook (pacman edition to be more precise) I carry around all the time.

          Hi Spencer:

          I use an open source product calledKeePass. It's a tiny program that resides on my flash drive. Very easy to use, and access can be password protected or you can use a physical "key" that resides on the flash drive itself (my choice as the drive never leaves my desk.

          I can't imagine going back to the piece of paper method and having to manually type the characters in now. I just copy and paste and in seconds I'm in.

            I absolutely adore 1Password (http://agilewebsolutions.com/onepassword), which has been a long-time Mac utility, but they recently released a Windows version.  Not only do I store all my usernames and passwords in 1Password, I also use it for software license keys, rewards membership programs, and more.

            They also support the iPhone and iPad, which makes all of this information availability on the go.

              I know that it can sound weird, but when it comes to passwords I usually use a combination of domain name + a alfanumeric code of 6 caracters that - like the numbers code in Lost - I remember since sooo many years.

                Looks like it checks out, does it have the ability to organize passwords by company or profile?

                  I use clipperz.com. It also does one-click logins!

                    I've been using roboform for years... I have at least a hundred passwords sroted, and catorgized by website. I'm not affilitated with them in any way (except being a happy customer). I will say, if you try a free trial, I guarantee you'll love it!

                    They just came out with a subscription model ($10/ year) that allows you to use your logins on any computer/ device.

                    PS. I also buy it for some of my customers, to make my job easier 🙂

                      Since LastPass (www.LastPass.com) acquired XMarks, I've become a raving fan of LastPass -- it works across multiple computers, on my iPhone and iPad, and helps me to create unique/impossible passwords for all sites.  Love it.

                        Yes, you can add tags like I do to sort out business vs personal ones!
