In this modern world of computing, there are passwords everywhere. Even if you aren't a technology buff, you probably have many private PINs and passwords and account numbers. But if you are a tech geek, you may have hundreds of them. And with the so-called "strong" (i.e. the ones that have funny characters and make no sense, so their harder to break), the days of remembering your passwords are over.
If you buy protected software or encrypted e-books, you have yet more passwords in the form of registration and activation codes. Writing it all down on paper is not very secure. What to do?
One ideal solution for smartphone, pda and even desktop owners is to store your passwords in an encrypted password vault. I use eWallet, but there are many alternatives. eWallet makes tracking passwords (with a backup on my desktop) so easy that it's second nature, and I've almost forgotten the nightmarish feeling of not having passwords under control.
If you don't have your passwords protected and organized, give eWallet or another password vault a try. I sincerely believe that the day is coming when almost everyone will be doing this on their phones.
Check out the new eWallet 6.1. It's available for Windows Mobile, PalmOS, desktop PCs and even U3 flash drives. If you have an iPhone, a version is
coming soon for you.
It's obvious by now, that I'm a fan of password vaults and Illiumsoft's eWallet in particular. As I've said before, there are a handful of programs that are essentials for pdas and smartphones, and this is one of them. If you haven't got a password vault, you owe it to yourself to get your passwords under control and protected.
