Looking for Password Storage/Anti-Keylogger program

[Xavier434]

I am looking for recommendations on software which is capable of storing passwords and making them usable in a secure fashion in order to prevent keyloggers, clipboard loggers, mouse loggers, etc from working properly should a computer become infected. It must be able to work with World of Warcraft in addition to the usual browsers.

Is there anyone here that can offer me recommendations or point me in the right direction?

I think the best bet would be to secure Windows itself. Because at some point, the info you're trying to protect has to go over the wire, no matter how you put it on the wire or where you kept it/how you protected it before that. security suggestions. Never let things get to the "infected" stage in the first place.

Yes, I completely agree and I have gone above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to the problem prevention techniques. However, I also wanted to take things one step further as a last line of defense so to speak. My research has currently lead me to the program called KeePass which seemingly does exactly what I am looking for. I need to wait until I go home to test it with WoW, but it works perfectly on my gmail account.

Is there anyone here that is familiar with KeePass or similar applications that can confirm or deny how secure they actually are when it comes to keyloggers?

KeePass is pretty good, as is a similar application called Password Safe. Both have decent features and seem to be written by people who know what they are talking about (real cryptography terminology, no snake oil, etc). KeePass especially does a reasonable job, automatically clearing the clipboard after you paste your password, try to prevent clipboard loggers from knowing the clipboard was updated, etc, etc.

But they aren't magic, they do their job well, but if you're computer is completely owned, no password utility in the world is going to help. Their real purpose is to allow to you use different, strong passwords for all the services we all use these days without having to remember 35 different strong passwords. And honestly, using one weak password for everything because you can't remember anything else is a much bigger security risk than somebody totally owning your box (if you take reasonable precautions). For that, both are excellent. I use PasswordSafe because it's simple, and simple tends to lead to better security...but KeePass looks good as well.
