<description><![CDATA[#59, Ashraf, you pay for software when it works better than the alternatives.  Sticky Password has a great UI, it integrates into browsers and some other software, like my PIM, with a single button where the minimize, maximize/restore, and close buttons are.  It's not obnoxious and intrusive like Roboform.  Good password managers provide not only security, but convenience.  Sticky Password auto-fills password fields, no need to open a UI and copy/paste, no need to press buttons at all.  Auto-login (submit) doesn't always work, but it works better than Roboform on my PC.  It supports multiple logins per account.  Sticky Password can auto-fill passwords and other data in programs other than browswers.  It can launch programs, and launch browsers to websites via its own quick search.  It can be also be accessed from its tray icon for browsers which it doesn't integrate with.  It monitors keyboard hooks, the clipboard chain, and executables (deep scan, much of which overlaps my security software and was causing conflicts with its scanner, so I turned that feature off, although I may test whether clipboard monitoring alone conflicts).  If it needs to use the clipboard temporarily, the data hasn't shown up in any clipboard extenders I've used.  It can unlock/lock the database when devices are plugged-in/removed.  It has an on-screen keyboard to foil keyloggers.  It can create/update as many portable versions as you want.  It checks the integrity of the portable devices and their files.  You specify what to place/update, it calculates how much additional space will be required, and it gives you overwrite prompts when updating.  It can create multiple database backups.

I don't know what people are objecting to in my comment #47.  It could be Firefox zealots who can't stand people using other browsers.  The features/add-ons/plug-ins/toolbars/extensions I use have been available for years on IE before they were available for Firefox, if it all.  IE has features I use which Firefox doesn't.  Firefox 3 added some, but still doesn't have others (the Firefox zealots didn't even know that Firefox 3 borrowed a number of features from IE7 and its add-ons, just as IE7 borrowed a number of features from Firefox).  I'm not going to get into the security issues, I find Firefox users and many security sites are biased and irrational on security issues.  Most so-called security issues assume you aren't running any security software at all, let alone top-rated security software.  The typical supposed IE security issue goes like this:  "You have to go to a website which says 'This is an evil malware website'.  Then you have to click through ten consecutive IE dialog boxes, all of which say 'By continuing, you agree to install evil malware on your computer'.  If you use Vista with UAC and IE in Protected Mode, you won't be affected.  We'd post an example, but we haven't figured out how to create a real-world exploit of this security vulnerability; at the present time, this is just a theoretical exploit.  We rate this vulnerability as super ultra critical.  Firefox doesn't have this problem."  It's true that there are real security issues and Firefox generally closes their holes faster than Microsoft does, but many of the supposed vulnerabilities are biased and blown out of proportion (never seen in the real world, requiring repeated stupidity on the part of the user, or blocked by decent security software).  Many vulnerabilities aren't due to the browsers, but the add-ons (Flash, Acrobat, media players, etc.)

As for commenting on Google Toolbar 5's limited form-filling features, I like them because they're intelligent (able to automatically interact with various form formats and controls), unobtrusive (automatic prompts which don't require a response in the negative case), have a full-form preview available, and are automatically portable.  Form-filling is a standard feature of password managers, Google Toolbar and Sticky Password perform different form-filling roles.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Keepass is also cross platform for those that wish to use a Linux implementation when accessing sensitive web sites (banks etc).
I use it on a flash drive to give portability.
As others have said you can make it secure by using a combination of password and key file to logon. In my case I keep the key file on a memory card (left over from an old camera). ((Actually two cards, in case I lose one!))
LastPass is worth consideration for all those lower security sites and has the advantage of being being both cross platform and computer independent.
If you want to be extra careful for those really sensitve sites then store your password in segments on multiple password managers eg. LastPass, Keepass and in you head!

The notebook approach is better than the head as regards to having long and random passwords but if you use special characters your typing needs to be reliably accurate. It also puts you in direct conflict with a stipulation of most banks. Thats why I favour a combined approach. Use password managers to make it long and random and your head to personalise and add obfuscation.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For some online web 2.0 password managers that you might find useful look at http://www.passpack.com/en/home/ and at https://lastpass.com/  I have not tried these myself but one day when I have a spare moment I will because they do appear useful.  I use KeePass for carrying my password with me currently.  It is useful but unfortunately the newest version is not portable.  That's where I think the online password managers might be useful in some instances.]]></description>
