How do you keep your e-book DRM passwords? - Page 2

I have an (old) version of eWallet, but I was always too afraid to use it. I kept thinking "what if someone figures out how to hack this - they'll have everything!"

I just started using RoboForm in the past month on 3 computers. I also just upgraded my Norton software to Norton 360 and it has something called "Identity Safe" which seems to do the same thing as RoboForm. I haven't tried it yet.

I never buy anything with DRM that cannot be removed.

I've used SplashID in the past. The iPhone version is a good first start, but the UI needs work; too many finger presses to see what you're looking for.

I've also used KeePass on a USB keychain with the Portable Apps suite.

More recently, I've been using OneNote stored on a USB drive for that data I only need when I'm at my computer.

Keyring Installed on my Palm gives me access to all my passwords where ever I am. I also have it sync'd to my desktop and accessible via a desktop client, so should I ever lose or have the PDA stolen, I can go through and change all my passwords quickly, plus if the PDA dies, I still have access to all the passwords.

keepass and password safe are both good alternatives. But I like to have my passwords with me at all times. It encourages use of much more random, longer and stronger passwords that way.

Also, it means I never have to enter the master password on my PC (unless I lose the PDA) so should a trojan find it's way onto my machine, the best they can do is steal the encrypted password database and log any passwords I may type into my PC.
