Honest, I was going to respond to this thread even before I read the "techy guru" in the last post, he said modestly.

If you have a LOT of passwords and logins to remember, consider getting a PDA. It has many other uses as well, completely replacing your DayTimer for one thing, but the password problem might be the tipping point for you to get a PDA.

I use a program called Splash ID on my Palm T5 PDA. It's a "password vault". Splash ID encrypts all its data. You use a master password to get into the program, at which point you can select the account info you want to view. It also can generate passwords for you. Since it can remember all the passwords, and it makes it easy for you to generate randomized passwords, SplashID increases the likelihood that you'll do it right--that is, with good long passwords and unique ones for each different login.

I have both SplashID on the Palm and SplashID for Windows. Maybe the Windows version alone, running on your laptop, would be a good solution. It's fairly cheap insurance.


FWIW, I think the various remote operation products (like LogMeIn, Webex, or GoToMyPC) are adequately secure.

Remember that if you just want to run AW2K somewhere else in your house, a second AW2K license is cheaper and more secure.
