Keep your passwords safe

Password Safe 2.03, downloadable from Castle Cops, is another tool that I consider pretty much essential, and it's free. The Password Safe home site is sourceforge.net but I am having problems accessing them at this moment. The newest version at sourceforge is 2.09. Version 2.03 is available from Castle Cops.

Oh yeah, what is it? It's a small application that provides an encrypted database in which you keep all your passwords (and usernames, by the way). You only need to remember one password: the one that opens the Password Safe database. It will even generate random passwords for you, using a combination of upper- and lower-case letters and numbers. It sure beats keeping everything in a notebook.
