People who use Windows password vault service/etc--which would you recommend? LastPass or Keeper? No need to bother with KeePass, since it's for my sister, and the complexity would turn her right off.

If there's another easy option I'm missing, I'd love to hear it.

I initially went with LastPass because LifeHacker spoke highly of it, but it's highly browser integrated, and it took forever and technical support for me to make it even open up with the Wi Fi connection dead. However, it natively supplants the password manager on IE, Chrome, and Firefox (poor Opera!), as well as providing a lookup feature. It just doesn't seem to cater much towards passwords that *aren't* for websites, either.

Now I'm exploring Keeper on Windows. It's what I have on my Android devices, so we'll see.

I've been using LastPass for about two months, ita ! It was erratic in how well it imported my passwords from my old password manager, but otherwise seems to work pretty well. It is very web based, as you say.

I've been getting dozens of calls every day from a number that shows up only as Blocked/unknown. Sometimes they even leave (empty) voicemails. I accidentally answered it once and there's nobody on the other end. I'm guessing it's some kind of auto dialer gone haywire since I'm pretty sure I don't have a stalker.

Any idea how I can block this? Its already showing up as a blocked number but obviously it's still ringing.

I'm having a real disconnect with an application that wants you to fire up a browser to work even if you don't have an internet connection. It's WEIRD, dammit.

I love LastPass, but I only use it for web passwords. I can see how it might suck for other passwords.

I love 1password: it is available for windows, but I use it on the mac and iphone and I really dig it.

Nah, I'm not spending $25 on password software on her for Christmas. It's kind of anticlimactic.

then is there a secure note application? that might work the same way as a password app that she might not want to save in the browser?

What I like about the password app is that it calls out URL, user ID, password, etc.

Of course, you could just do it in a password-enabled spreadsheet, but where's the fun in that?

I'm probably going to go with Keeper. I'll have to stare at it some more when I get home.

Anyone else having recent battery drain issues with an iPhone 3GS and iOS 5.0.1? All of a sudden today, the battery drained to 0 in 2 hours. I recharged at work, pulled it off the charger at 5:30, and at 7:20 it was down to 82%. By 9:10, it was down to 43%. I did a full backup and restore but I don't think it fixed the issue. It just started today. The Genius Bar was useless. Blamed it on me having too many tasks running. If so, then why didn't it happen last week when I updated?

I am not happy.

Edit: Oh and this is the work phone, so I'm limited in what I can do to fix it. I can't unlink my exchange account until I can talk to IT tomorrow.
