    Saving Passwords - Using Only A Master Password

    Most browsers have this built-in, BUT if you wipe your browser, re-install you operating system, re-install your browser because of a virus or it being hi-jacked.

    Then all your browser saved passwords are gone :( So here a few addon password makers and savers :)

    Roboforms: http://www.roboform.com/
    Works with Windows, Mac & Linux but only works on Safari in Mac :(

    Free:
    But on the free version you are limited to 10 logins which will come really fast!

    Pay:
    Roboforms Everywhere is the best option $9.95 first year. ($12.50 each year after the first)
    This allow you to install it on all you electronic devices, desktop - laptop/s no limit, phones no limits. And does sync between all devices

    I have been test driving lastpass, moving all 300+ logins and passwords from roboforms over to lastpass.


    Roboforms is a little easier to use on somethings.


    Lastpass works in Safari :) ...So I may go Lastpass 100%.

    I can vouch for roboform, though we've used it since WAY long ago i think when they added the 10 limit, it didn't affect existing users over 10, because she has like 40+ on there, lol

    Yes roboforms has been around forever. I have been using it over 10 years.
    The biggest down side to roboforms is the browsers - FireFox & IE sometimes in Opera :(

    I'm pretty happy with lastpass so far, works in all browsers.
    And I like their sign in anywhere interface. :)

    But I'm still using both, 90% of the time LastPass.

    For Dawn, it works great since she uses IE only. She handles change on a computer kinda like grandma does, lol

    Edit>> I don't use any password program, though I probably should start. Having to look up the forgotten pass on my master list in my drawer is kinda.... old school, LOL
