Hi Mac & John,
You can create a password-protected (encrypted) disk image
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107333>
Or you can put all your Credit Card and other passwords in your
KeyChain.
I use 'Secure Notes' in my Keychain to store my passwords & private
information.
From Keychain Help:
"You can use your keychain to securely store sensitive information
unrelated to your computer, such as personal identification numbers
(PINs) for a bank account, credit card numbers, confidential notes,
cryptographic keys, X509 certificates, and any other information that
you want to keep private.
1 .Open Keychain Access, located in /Applications/Utilities.
2. Click Show Keychains if the Keychains list is not open, then
select the keychain you want to use (if your keychain is locked,
click the lock icon then enter your keychain password to unlock it).
3. Choose File > New Secure Note Item.
4. Type a name for the note that will help you remember what it is.
5. Type the information you want to preserve in the Note box, or
paste text you've copied or cut from another document.
6. Click Add.
Cheers,
Ronni

Greetings List,
As another Senior moment sets in, I am also waiting on a reply to
this request by Malcolm. I am fairly sure Peter H. gave me the
solution a while back but it was more than 30 seconds ago so I need
refreshing.

Hi wamuggians , It is a senior citizen again :-0 I know I should
know the answer to my question but...... :-(. I want to have a
folder in my Laptop that is ultra secure so even if I have left my
laptop
on nasty people still cannot get my credit card details. The ideal
would be a folder that needs an unbreakable code to get in, is
this where I use the File vault? I do not want to have to open
this to run my computer.
