    I am sorry to hear about your troubles fightnightfz. I am thankful that the few folks I have met from here have been extremely helpful and friendly.

    Password managers like 1Password (as swampfire mentions) or LastPass can be very helpful.

    But .... If one decides to use a password manager (applauds) I prefer to use a non 3rd party service. Both 1Password and LastPass (while convenient) have had large attacks on their database. I don't believe that these attacks have been successful, yet it demonstrates the issues of bundling all of one's passwords onto a 3rd party service.

    I prefer KeePass as a locally installed password manager that doesn't rely upon a central database on the net. http://keepass.info/
    1.x for single-user use -- or 2.x version for office use where you need multiple people in the database at one time.

    If you need access from multiple devices, you can place the database file onto the cloud service of your choice.

    Hey jfesler,

    It appears that you have a great point. It was LastPass that was attacked as they keep the database in their cloud. I had forgotten that 1Password was native and had grouped the two programs together in my mind after the recent attack on LastPass. I apologize about the error.

    So, what I was mis-remembering about 1Password was a separate issue with their hash function back in 2013. ArsTech had an article (http://goo.gl/5LqvGl) about it along with some other online sources. I am sure it was fixed/handled back then. I don't use it so I haven't followed along. I personally trust AgileBits as developers; they have some really sharp talent. I just happen to use something else.
