On to the actual topic: I’ve been using KeePass now. Works wonders. I still haven’t solved the “where to put master key” issue, but other than that this seems like a fine choise.

Backing up encrypted database is good too.

Give copy a relative… like how reliable that can be? Where *he* stores it securily? :)

I am amazed that you people trust your brain. Id never put anything important there to remember. Like… If one day you wake up and just have complete blackdown on what the master password is.

Sounds really scary to just remember it.

I definitely want to put master pass somewhere. Who knows, maybe i order some painting tha has it as a slogan and put it in front of computer. Nobody would realize that the master pass is staring at me allday long 8)

yeah master password in head + give copy to relative.
I moved all my passwords off my PC somewhere else that won’t get stolen. Never keep anything like that on a laptop and only do the keep me logged in thing and remember password thing on really non critical sites on my laptop.

It’s easy to just keep backup copies of the keepass database file in several locations. The master pass-phrase definitely should only be in your head.

What if your heads get bashed in, or you take a six month holiday, or you die? Sometimes it’s better that your loved ones may be able to access and shutdown your systems. Have heard some reports of people having to go through year long processes to clean up behind their dead.
