Password Safe to Manage Passwords

How many passwords can you possibly keep up with?  If you are being wise and not using the same password for your email that you use for social networking or banking, then you have a least a few.  Then think about your spouse and kids, or parents.  A single household could have dozens of passwords.

 There are several options for tracking passwords, but one of my favorites is a free version of an application for your home computer that allows you to store up to 25 passwords for various online activities. You could think of it as a safe on your computer.  Actually, the application allows you to save up to 25 passwords in 1 Safe File.  You can add additional Safe Files. 

 I use a different Safe File for my home and another one for social networking sites, retail sites, and anything that is not a financial account or related to my house.  In your household, you might have one Safe File for you and your spouse and a separate one for your kids or other individuals in your home. 

Cautions: 

1.   Since this is on your computer’s hard drive, you will want to make sure you have a back up plan for your computer or at least have the files for this software saved to a thumb drive or other backup source.

2.   The file information can be printed out.  If you print it out, then you will need to find a safe place for the print outs.

How To: The software is called Password Agent and you can download the free version at:  Password Agent by Moon Software
