If you honestly understand how the internet works, _and_ are concerned about password security, how can you NOT be using a different password on every site? (or at least a throwaway password for accounts you don't care about)
EDIT: I guess the biggest reason would be that you likely haven't discovered the awesomeness that is 1Password yet. http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password . There are probably free alternatives. (EDIT Again: Mac only. There are Windows alternatives too :) )
- tlrobinson 18y agoI bought 1Password as part of one of those Mac software bundles, but still haven't figured out how it's any better than Safari + Keychain's built in password manager. Can someone please explain it to me?
- mdemare 18y agoIt generates secure passwords. It syncs passwords for all browsers. It creates backups. Autofill for credit-card data. Multiple logins per site.
- tlrobinson 18y agoActually, Safari + Keychain does most of that: 1. The password generator is a little difficult to get at, but can be accessed in the Keychain Access application. 2. I don't think it works across multiple browsers. This seems to be the main advantage of 1Passwd. 3. Syncs with MobileMe, or you can just backup your keychains. 4. Safari can autofill nearly any form. 5. Multiple logins are stored. If you start typing the first few letters of the username it will autofill the correct data.
