Tools: Password Keychain

Published Sunday, December 03, 2006 12:01 AM

As a consultant, I deal with a lot of passwords.  Websites, databases, VPN's, logins to remote machines.  It seems like there's a never ending stream of passwords that I need to remember.  One way I've found to manage them all is with a program from NFX Technologies called Password Keychain.  It sits in your system tray so you can double click on it whenever you need to retrieve a password.  And it's password protected (so you do have to remember one password) so people can't just hop on your computer and steal all your passwords.  I also like that you can export your password list to an encrypted file, allowing you to easily backup.  So if you deal a bunch of passwords, definately give this program a shot.  Oh, and it's completely free, which is always a bonus.
