Remains of the Day: Happy 15th Birthday to Opera Edition
There is also a nice little cartoon about the birth of Opera.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

password question.
As more and more websites need passwords/usernames/prompt questions, and each site having different requirements for length/numbers/capitals/ID questions/etc, I find my getting old brain is having trouble remembering them all. Is there a safe application that can store them all? I could make a FileMaker Pro database, but worried that it's not secure enough. Currently, I don't have *any* of them written down. Thoughts? Advice?
Oh, I'm on a Mac.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Applications -> Utilities -> Keychain Manager will probably fit your needs. If not, there are payware alternatives available.

omnis,
I love 1password.
It is really fabulous for remembering all my passwords. The one area where it does not do well is multiple gmail passwords, but beyond that it has everything including my credit cards.
I also have it synching to another computer through dropbox and that works fine as well. it has an extension for firefox and safari.

I posted mine before seeing Tom's link. Does Keychain Manager handle web login passwords?
Yeah, there's still lots of Mac stuff I don't know....

Safari keeps all of its passwords in the keychain.

Oh. Safari.
I mostly just use Safari when I go to the Apple store. (It makes installing Dashboard Widgets easier.)

1password also keeps your addresses together so you just click the link and it fills in forms. I order online a lot, so this is very useful. You can also add secure notes.

For Windows that Keepass tommyrot linked to looks pretty good.
