That probably depends on the nature of the passwords you are keeping.

Why did you buy one if you don't know what to use it for?

 

[kukyfrope]

VideoLAN - because it can play nearly every video type out there.

I've been trying to find a good reason to get a portable USB stik for emergency use so this thread will give me good ideas

Roboform (portable version) and Portable Firefox.

Ooooooooookkkk........didn't realize i was supposed to know about everything, you never know when you'll run into a situation when one of these tools will come in handy.

And if you're here to post insults then please don't post at all.
