So this is one of those age old questions, but it seems to keep coming back:
How do you store your passwords ?
We can't seem to keep track of all of the passwords in our heads. We had a
little discussion here with our group of developers and came up with this
list, I am looking for additional ideas, comments, suggestions, etc.
- Sticky Notes on the monitor
- Piece of loose paper
- Spreadsheet
- Email Folders
- PDA / Phone
- Little Black Book
- Google Docs
- Password Encrypted Flat File
- kWallet
- Revelation
- Encrypted page on a local wiki
Now what do you do when you have to keep a list of passwords sync'd between a
set of support technicians ?
What do you think is the best way to keep a long list of usernames/passwords,
etc. ? When someone needs to give you a password, how do you transfer it?
Email, IM, Phone, Snail Mail ?
Thanks,
Ron
