I have a question - is there a password manager out there thats made it possible to access passwords from a computer that isn't yours? I'm guessing not, because of the obvious security issues.

Because I'm not always in front of my laptop, or desktop and don't have an iphone I use a system similar to what is here - different passwords for different sites, with a system that helps me remember them.



You can either use a website to manage your passwords or a USB drive. I use keepass to keep some of my passwords on a USB stick...

Not perfect, not 100% secure (nothing is), but always accessible :)


Thanks! I like the USB drive idea (maybe on a keychain) in conjunction with keepass (I'll need to look more closely at keepass - I skimmed over it a while ago). Also I like the supergenpass suggestion below - less to carry, and as long as I have the bookmarklet on a browser, and my master password, easily accessible. More to think about! :)


My product does exactly that - client-side AES-256 encryption in AJAX app. Works on any (modern) computer! More details: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=459887
