Prog to securely store passwords?

[cw42]

Is there a simple, free prog i can use to store something like a txt file of passwords? I was thinking of using something like winrar, but I don't know if that's secure enough.

TK8 Safe does what you want ... but it sucks for capabilities. It is cheap though if you need something basic.

I just use Excel and a floppy.

I use Any Password. Nice program, and it's free.

not exactly what you specified.. but i'm pretty sure it'll satisfy ur needs. the software stores the passwords in an encrypted database file.

If you want to keep them in a text file, you could try TrueCrypt ( http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net ) - designed for encrypting more than just a file, whole volumes, etc, but it would work (I use it for that among other things).

Thanks for all the suggestions, i'll be looking into them. However, no one has answered the question of whether or not a passworded winrar zip is safe enough.

:thumbsup: Likewise. It just can't be beat, and can be put on a flash memory device that allows you to port your passwords (they are encrypted in the program's file) to your laptop or other system. But - it ain't free - it is extremely reasonable. Don't be a "cheap Charlie."

wow, I think you might have missed the sarcasm of the OP and my reply....

I used Pasword Safe before switching to KeePass, which seemed a bit more polished to me.
I was able to export my Password Safe data and import it into KeePass without issues.

They are both free programs and both do a fine job.

I use pwsafe, a password safe clone. I'll definitely be checking out passwordsafe 3.0 and keepass though (if I can get it to run on my password keeping machine).
