Its been much of a year now since I went to buy something from someplace I hadn't dealt with before and found their pw requirement was 6 chars max. I sent them a semi-nastygram listing what I was going to purchase, but would not until such time as I could use a 20+character pw so there was at least the resemblance of security. That was on a Friday I believe, and Monday I got a message that its max length had been expanded to 128 mixed case alpha-numeric chars. Needless to say the order was placed within the hour. Some folks it seems are hungry. :)

Make a recommendation, I'll check them out. I have looked at keepass but its still subject to a failure of my net as the data is local to my net. Thats not encouraging in the long view. -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
