So many passwords, so many websites...


Have you noticed that as we got more comfortable with the Internet that we collect more websites and more logins. How can we remeber them all! We are told don't use the same password for every account as it is not secure. Especially if you have several online bank accounts. Well here is how I keep a handle on my over 200 logins. I use a USB flash drive and RoboForm.


Roboform is the top-rated Password Manager and Web Form Filler that completely automates password entering and form filling.


  • Memorizes your passwords and Logs You In automatically

  • Fills long registration and checkout forms with one click.

  • Encrypts your passwords to achieve complete security.

  • Generates random passwords that hackers cannot guess.

  • Fights Phishing by filling passwords only on matching web sites.

  • Defeats Keyloggers by not using keyboard to type passwords.

  • Backs up your passwords, Copies them between computers.

  • Synchronizes passwords between computers using GoodSync.

  • Searches for keywords in your passwords, notes and Internet.

  • Portable: RoboForm2Go runs from USB key, no install needed.

  • PDA-friendly: sync your passwords to Pocket PC and Palm.

  • Neutral: works with Internet Explorer, AOL/MSN, Firefox.

  • IE 7 and Vista are now supported.

With your USB flash drive and RoboForm you can go to any computer and it auto installs allowing you to get to your websites and login. When it's time to leave and you pull your USB flash drive it uninstalls everythimg, leaving non of your info on the computer. If you shoud ever loose the USB flash drive, all your information is encrypted. USB flash drives haev really come down in price adn you can pick them up at Costco, Office max or Best Buy. I would recommend a 1 GB or larger as it will allow you to also carry documents and phots as needed. If you liek to buy online you can get a 1 GB for $10.99 at newegg.com.
