But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

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

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....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

They also have unofficial builds for OS X and Linux.

eta: I think I'll try out the OS X version when I get home (if I remember).

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Y'all rock! I should have asked sooner. I'm trying the mac version of KeePass. The Keychain Access thingy that is part of the mac doesn't seem to do webistes. But with the KeePass, I can put it on my jump drive, and have work & home passwords in one spot. And since I do work stuff at home, and when working 80 hours at a time, home stuff at work, it seems to make the most sense. It looks like there is an iPhone version in the works. That would rock, as I always have that on me. However, then I can't copy/paste from KeePass into the website or server. We shall see.

Thanks again!

Does anyone have recommendations for antivirus, spyware and/or firewall programs? I've been using TrendMicro, which is certainly better than Norton, but which still runs a ginormous program in the background. My subscription renewal is coming up and right now I'm also irritated at it because it won't let graphics card software load an upgrade and a piece of TrendMicro just hung up but the program wouldn't let me end the process because I was viewed as a threat for wanting to shut it down. It was a little too close to Hal for my taste.

Coding and Sleeping

I use Windows Defender and do an occasional scan with Malware Bytes. It's a pretty low overhead and low cost combination.
