Grant,Thanks. Good idea on the 1Password (have started storing similar information there too). But your tip about Keychain was very clear and now I understand it. So will do the job this weekend.

If you encrypt your Time Machine drive, you can store the password in 1Password for your own reference. However, 1Password won’t be able to unlock the drive for you. That’s not really a huge deal though because you can store the password in the Mac’s keychain. This means your drive will be unlocked automatically and you won’t be prompted for the password again unless you connect the drive to a different computer or the keychain is erased. I have both the drives I use for Time Machine encrypted, and can vouch for it being easy and convenient. Once the drive’s unlocked it’s totally transparent, so you can access files from your backups just as you did before.

So before I do this, I wish to know if one can still access files in the backups. Also can 1Password work with this? So many passwords these days. From E.T.'s Keyboard...
