Ok, show of hands… and be honest. Who among you uses the same login name and passwords for practically everything? Much worse, who uses “password” as your passwords! LOL. There was a time when I was in that vicious circle of keeping everything the same too. Until I read about “identity theft” and how seriously it can harm your credit rating… moreso, your life.
If remembering passwords have become more than a chore, a torture for you, well… you may want to think about getting a password manager to help you out. I like my MacBook’s keychain program as it does wonders for me during my memory blackouts. But still, I cannot bring my Macbook with me always. I need something more portable and less bulky.
The Mandylion Password Manager is just that. Try it out at Thinkgeek’s website for about US$50.
