Is your login password trivial and stupid? do you share it with others? If not, then you are fine. If so, then don’t do that. If you are super paranoid, change your keychain password. I got used to having a different keychain password when both it and my login password were only 8 characters long, and so I still do it even though it’s pretty pointless now. >> It's not true of the OS X keychain and it is certainly not true of 1Password. > > Another thing about 1Password is that I can't imagine how a $40 utility can > solve a human problem that has been around for thousands of years.

It remembers the passwords and automatically fills them in for you and it works across browsers and OSes, and it stores everything in a cryptologically secure file. The only passwords I remember anymore are: 1) Login (12-15 characters) 2) Keychain (10-15 characters) 3) 1Password (more than 15) 4) World of Warcraft (10) EVERYTHING else is in 1Password. The keychain only holds things like the email passwords for mail.ap, WiFi passwords, secure disk image passwords, and things like that. Of course, the email passwords are also in 1Password. -- CURSIVE WRITING DOES NOT MEAN WHAT I THINK IT DOES Bart chalkboard Ep. 2F11 _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
