How Do You Hook Up The Time Warner Phone

Elixir Productivity: Managing passwords

... supplement our elixir today with manager passwords namely KeePass Password Safe


reasons to use such tools are many:
  1. You use the name of your pet preferred company for all of your passwords = VERY BAD!
  2. you have on your computer unprotected Excel file that lists all your IDs and passwords with a shortcut on the desktop for easy access OUHLALA =! I WOULD NOT BE AT YOUR PLACE!
  3. You can not get away with your facebook account, twitter, myspace, yuck, Chung, Poutch, bling .... and the list grows every day
  4. You are one of those thousands of people that put "1234", "foo", "test", "qwerty", "password" in your password and you found your info published on the net ...
short, this tool will solve all these little annoyances, since you do manage only one password: the one you used to open the application.

Then, for each account you want to add, the tool takes care of generating a complex password (with a generator to customize how to create the password).


When you want to use this account, you drag the identifiers (login and password) from KeePass to the application that you request, all without knowing the password.

base that contains all the passwords are encrypted and application itself contains a lot of plugins to add functionality to the application. It is a tool mandatory!
Ah yes, it will be important to regularly back up the KeePass database and to not mislead the general password;)
