Managing a Passel of Passwords With Online Tools

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Do you use your kids’ names? Your pet’s? Your favorite color? We all use some dumb passwords that are too easy to guess. Worse, we use the same ones for lots of Web sites. So if one site gets compromised, or an employee there is dishonest, someone could start trying out that password on other sites where you have accounts, like Amazon or PayPal, and you’ve got trouble. Browsers help out a bit by offering to remember your passwords, but that does little good if you are on a different computer or want to try a different browser.
