take a look at roboform + pass2go , not free but more
powerfull
I think FolderShare is one of the worst security
breaches ever: If someone manages to hack into your
account, he instantly gets full access to your connected
PCs! You might want to consider that.
KeePass is really great btw. ;)
Jens: Is it any different that using Remote Desktop,
Paspowrt, PayPal etc?
Each of these, if broken, poses a major threat to your
life, woudn't you say?
Everything is a matter of clauclated risk, as well as
choosing a good password for FolderShare..
Just a little security tip: when writing down (or
choosing) your passwords, never write down the actual
password. Intead, write down a hint that (preferrably
only) you can deduce the password from.
For example: lets say your password was #canD4spot
When you write this down, write: No candy for my pet. If
your pet's name is spot, you'll know this cold and
nobody in the world will ever get your password if they
manage to crack your archive.
Not only is this smart security, it's a piece of mind!
Roy: It's not so different, but I guess FolderShare is
just a big honeypot for Crackers, because they would
gain access to the whole machine(s). Cracking Passport,
PayPal, etc. just gives you access to this particular
account.
Also, I don't like the thought of having some
FolderShare administrator sniffing around my machine...
keepass rocks, especially because you can attach files
to each password you store, so i can backup gpg/pgp
keyrings and so forth.
why use foldershare when you can just use a small http
server to share files? grab your ip address from
start->run->ipconfig, give that out to
anyone who you want, and now your computer is a website.
but back to the topic...
i've been using keepass since january, along with gpg
and enigmail for mozilla's thunderbird email client. as
it stands right now, i have more data security than
either of the parties in wwii, and im not even 30y old.
the power and security that the combination of
open-source gpg and open-source keepass give you is
incredibly cool. i know there are no backdoors because
i've examined the source. ok, i haven't but in theory i
could ;) and i'm sure SOMEONE has.
another one i like is pgpdisk, from the pgp corporation,
which mounts an encrypted virtual hard drive. but even
in my pgpdrive i keep my files encrypted. i hate getting
hacked, everyone should hate getting hacked, and we
should all take measures to prevent it, like keepass and
gpg, and lovely open-source browsers like firefox.
and if youre going to bother having firefox, get
flashblock from mozdev.org and optimoz from there too.
one stops those darn flash ads and the other offers
"mouse gestures" which are totally
awesome. one step closer to advanced
human-machine-internet interfaces.
just wait til they put the chip in your head....... ;)
have a nice day
How do we know it does not transfer all your password so
some netweok server...?
