Trouble is her next BF will be able to get your passwords (and have great pleasure in the process)

Pins is a good program to store passwords and it's free. I keep it in the quicklaunch area for easy access. I also use RoboForm and think it's great. However, a password manager such as Pins can better manage large amounts of information such as 100's of login names and passwords, financial information, product keys, etc.

Pins is availiable here:

No one is using this freeware program?????????????

http://www.password-depot.com/download.htm

Free. Stores 20 passwords. Opens URL's automatically (only if you want, and even if your browser is closed at the time). Can copy passwords directly to the clipboard (for easy pasting). Generates password of the length you specify. Visual indication of your password strength. Small enough to fill up with passwords and still fits on a floppy. Auto-complete feature lets you specify how to fill in the fields (user name [TAB] password [ENTER], user name [TAB] [TAB] password [TAB] [ENTER]...so on and so forth). No ADWARE! NO SPYWARE! NO RESTRICTIONS (beyond the 20 password limit)! DOES NOT REMIND YOU TO UPGRADE/PURCHASE! NEVER TRIES TO ACCESS THE INTERNET...

geesh....check it out. Nice!!

[EDIT]
Does not auto-load. No system tray icon (unless minimized). No registry entries at all. Three languages: English, German, French. One-click shut-down. Change user names/passwords on-the-fly with a drop-down menu. When running, the only visible part of the program (in normal mode) is just the same size as the Title Bar at the top of IE (not very dam big).
[/EDIT]

Question Password Depot
I tried downloading the password freeware and I get up a box that says:

"The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of this file, verify its integrity, and try again."

I tried twice and I keep getting the above message.

What do you suggest?

You might just getting a bad downoad from the home site. Try another link. Be sure to get version 1.6.

(BTW, download in the 1st link is working fine for me.....)

Or you could put them all in a file named system.txt and save it to C:\windows\ thus making it look like an uninteresting system file. Works if only computer illiterate users share the computer with you...

Heck, I just write my passwords on the wall. I've reformatted my hard drive 3-4 times, and am real bad at backing up data on my comp, so the wall and a pencil is all I need.
