Hb_Kai Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Sorry, I made that a little confusing I think..You get password managers for your operating system and you get ones for your browsers.What kind of password manager are you looking for? What type of passwords are you wanting to manage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I can't see the modify button so gonna make a new post. ;)A decent in-browser one is Mozilla Firefox's which you can create accounts for the passwords which you can lock with a master password but if because that's a in-browser password manager you may feel it's a bit unsafe...I do know one which is pretty good and is OSI certified. (Open-Source)I have never tried it myself but a few friends have recommended it at times and heard good things about it, so it might be good for you...KeyPass :KeyPass Password Safe Info + Download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hb_Kai Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Could also start using combinations of lower/uppercase characters, special characters and unicodes. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I recently joined a tech newsletter [TechRepublic] and was given a free password manager to download [Password Plus Lite]. I haven't actually tried it, but if you are interested, I can send you the downloaded file to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.There is a brief explanation and download HERE. The limiting factor appears to be that it only stores up to 10 pin numbers. So it depends on your requirement. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machiner Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'm sorry, school me - what's a "limiting factor"? You mean like locked software or summak? Pay to play, that sort of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irene Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'm sorry, school me - what's a "limiting factor"? You mean like locked software or summak? Pay to play, that sort of thing?Exactly what the words say...In this instance, the number of password pin numbers is limited to 10 only. If you had a requirement for anything in excess of that, the software would not fulfill your needs. :D A limiting factor or limiting resource is one that controls a process (souce: Wikipedia) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
