OK...can't stand this...I'm posting

 OK...there hasn't been any new content in 27 hours. Not cool. I'll stop complaining and post something.

After having been on PC's for almost 12 years, I switched back to Mac a couple months ago. A long time ago in a previous career (audio engineering) I used Mac's quite a lot. Actually, the first time I plunked down my own hard earned cash for a computer it was $900 for a Mac Classic. Something like 30 MB of storage. Ouch. Still had THE COOLEST GOLF GAME EVER. It had really lo-fi birds chirping, but that 8-bit 'swoosh' of the golf club rocked. When I'd be working the recording studio with it, that golf game was a huge hit. 

I'm digressing...

So I switched 'back' to Mac...whatever that means. Over the past 18 years I've worked on Win, Mac, *nix, Cisco/Nortel IOS...etc. Heck, I even loaded up BeOS once.

Long story longer...

One of my most valuable apps on the PC was a shareware app called RoboForm. It kept all my logins and passwords in a nice tidy encrypted file and would populate forms and save them on the fly. It rocked! Sure, you can get by on a txt file...but that get's unwieldy after awhile.

When I got my MacBookPro I started looking for something similar. Yes, I know about KeePass...the OpenSource alternative. I just never dug it...don't remember why either. But hey, some people love it, that's great. Well, after not having much luck...

...I found 1Password  agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password

Really liking it. It'll even sync up with my iPhone.

So, I'm happy.

How about you? How do you handle 5,10,50,100+ account passwords?

use keychain.app, it is an excellent app included in Mac OS X. it autofills forms in safari and manages all site authentication. many programs also use keychain.app to store their passwords (CyberDuck FTP, Mail.app etc) i find it very good. you can also put a menu in the top menu bar for easy access
