I expect that I’ll be looking a lot come this time next year when it’s time to pick out a shiny new phone. :)

I was considering 1Password as well, but they have completely ignored an Android version for a long time, continually saying they’ll get to it eventually – plus, they don’t support any OS other than OSX.

Generally speaking, I distrust the “store it in the browser” option. I know that it’s more convenient and that modern browsers use decent encryption on their password stores… but in order to function, they must be able to read the store. This means that it is theoretically possible for a flaw in the browser to expose the store to an attacker via web page.

That’s not to say that my solution is perfect. In particular, it is vulnerable to password sniffing by keylogger and accidental account lockouts due to mis-entered passwords. However, when I compare those risks to those of native browser storage, the native browser solution seems riskier. (This is just a feeling… I’ve not researched it… yet ;)

Basically, my philosophy is similar to the Unix philosophy. Most systems do one thing well. Browsers, be they IE, Firefox, Opera or Chrome are really good at browsing. They’re getting better at security, but it’s still not their core focus. There is a lot of security in simplicity, so a simple password wallet with good market history (and that is being actively maintained) is probably better then security in a browser.

I use Gnu Keyring on my Palm and am considering 1Password should I move to the iPhone. I don’t know what’s available in the Blackberry and Android spaces, but I’m sure that they exist there too.

I was curious, and was hoping you could elaborate as to how you manage your passwords securely.

I was just looking at the site from a Social Media point of view and placed Scribd site review in Google and your site came up

Thanks for the review

not sure I would use it now

You should just be able to add http://feeds.feedburner.com/starmind-blog . This can either be directly, or you can click on the orange RSS icon in the address bar in Firefox. If you hover over the orange RSS logo at the top right of the page, it should display some common newsreaders. If none of those are what you use, just clicking on the orange RSS icon itself should work just fine.
