Default Storing & Sharing Passwords
I'm sure we're all suffering from login & password overload. I know I'm always searching my email for account details to log into places.

I've had a few suggestions for ways to store passwords and logins. However, PassPack was recently suggested to me on twitter today.

http://bit.ly/qOJK6z

You can store your login and passwords, as well as selective share those details with clients which I think is absolutely brilliant.

I haven't fully played around in it yet, but thought I'd definitely share this tool with the VA community.

Tell me what you think and if you know of any other / better products.

I'll have to check this on out. I'm a fan of LastPass - I like it because it crosses platforms, so not matter where I'm at (chrome, firefox, explorer and even my android phone or tablet) I can access my passwords.

LastPass also saves other notes and information that needs to be secure, so that's what I like about it.

You can find LastPass at www.LastPass.com

LastPass was the other password saving program recommended to me. Which is next in my list to check out.

I just like this one because you can selectively share passwords with clients... which I can envisage being very useful when working remotely on projects.

I have been using SPlashID for a few years now and it syncs to my iphone. I use it almost everyday.

I don't know. I'm skeptical and probably way too cautious by nature; but, I am concerned that somehow, these companies have access to passwords and may use them or sell them. I know that they usually swear to high heaven that "your passwords are safe with us," but I still tremble in my boots a little about it all. I feel the same way about online backups. But, there's no doubt that we are all suffering from password fatigue.

I've worked both with Passwords Plus and KeePass.

I like both of them and they are easy to use. It is so very helpful to have these!

I use Roboform for 2 years now. I tried LastPass but I didn't like it.

I'll check on Passpack.

I use LastPass and have for a while now. I like Renee like the cross platform capabilities for the program. However, I never use the auto-generate function as I have a password system that allows me to easily remember all my passwords. It is great though to have everything stores in one place.
