Just wanted to pass on a software recommendation that can potentially be beneficial for all:
KeePassX. Taken from their website: "KeePassX is an application for people with extremly high demands on secure personal data management. It has a light interface, is cross platform and [open source]". I use the program for storing all kinds of personal information (online account login/passwords, software serial numbers, padlock cominations, etc.). The advantages of using a program like this are:
- It's free
- All of your personal information is in one place as compared to being in multiple files or folders - physical or virtual).
- It's searchable, sortable, groupable, etc. thus easier to find a given entry
- It secure - one has to know your master password to get access it to it as all the data is encrypted.
- It's easily replicable by copying to another location, burning to a CD, etc.
After using it for a bit at home and work now, I highly recommend it. You can download it for your platform of choice (Mac, Windows, Linux) here:
