Bump - I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

I used to use Gator for that - but found it was very invasive and linked to a lot of spyware. Then Roboform was recommended and I have used it for a couple of years now. I just bought Roboform Pro and it is outstanding. Makes the ever-growing world of passwords and accounts a piece of cake.

Roboform

Bump - Anybody else have any suggestions. I would like to have something to compare to. Has anybody tried Password Safe or Personal Vault? How does it compare to Roboform?

I use this stuff called paper and supplement it with a fireproof safe. For things like this I don't really trust much else.

I remember when Gator first came out, a lot of people praised it as great software. Now, it's a horrible piece of trash.

With that said - is RobobForm the best software for Password protection right now? I need something to secure my passwords - especially online transactions/banking, etc...

I was serious, don't dismiss so quickly. I've got one of those little spiral notebooks about the size of a CD Jewel case - Its faster to write in than trying to grafiti a PDA, you don't lose important stuff if you blow a HDD and you can put the important stuff in a fireproof safe. Paper is a bitch for L337 H4XX0rz to break into as well.

You might take a look at Password Corral.

I'm sure there are others, but I use this one and like it. You may not though.

Oops! It may not work with handhelds. I don't use one.

I'm not discounting the paper approach - it's just that I need something that will protect me with online banking, stocks, and various transactions. The information that leaves my computer needs to be secure.
