Hi Group, I have been using keychain more and more heavily recently, to generate random 12-15 character passwords and use those for website passwords. For those of you who haven't explored it you can copy and paste your strong passwords into the forms without ever having them revealed on screen and I recommend everyone should make unique passwords for every service they use in a way such as this.
However now I'm starting to worry I may be relying on keychain almost too much, because if my powerbook breaks or gets stolen, so do all my passwords (at least the thief wont have access to them, but the problem is neither will I...) At work we use keepassX, but it has problems with more than one person accessing it at once, so there tend to be lots of copies of our keychain all over the place, and it isn't very integrated like keychain, you have to run it when you want to get something in or out of it. There is also 1passwd for mac and iphone which I suspect a few group members might use and could provide some opinions on. Could I just copy my keychain into dropbox and would my lost keychain worry be over, and is there any way to open or view a keychain from a non-osx computer? Is putting such a critical file in a relatively public place ever a good idea?
