I don't want to scare people, of course. But "it's probably safe enough" is what I often think, when I'm particularly annoyed of my manual procedure. Then I say: what does enough means? It depends on what you're protecting. For many things, it's probably enough: you risk some major annoyance in some public forums if some joker spreads some spam, or you risk your websites to be defaced. If you have the proper counter-measures (e.g. a backup to quickly restore a defaced site, etc...), it's ok. Perhaps I could actually use one of the proposed open source solutions for my passwords with a low criticality (but I don't see any advantage in just having them managed by Opera).

For my banking accounts, not. Once the money has gone, has gone.
