It’s pretty handly for people that move around between two or three computers (home, work, laptop) where they know they have a connection, but don’t want to have to sync up all the time. I also think some couples/families are using PassPack so that they can share the common “household” passwords in one safe place.

PassPack supports CSV import and export, and I’ve heard of some folks using that to move data back and forth to Keepass on a USB. We’ll eventually add some sort of offline version as well, but I don’t have a schedule for that.

What’s fascinating is how creative people are – give them a tool and they start molding it to their lives in ways you never could have imagined. It’s pretty neat.

Yeah, I know You might want to go change any passwords based off that if you are still using it, since you posted that much here. I am sure I am not the only Beck fan out there!

Thanks

I forgot about Keepass (http://keepass.info), that’s another good tool for managing passwords, thanks for mentioning it.

The idea of online password management hadn’t occurred to me, but it’s an intriguing thought. I suppose in some cases it would depend on what you or your customers requirements were. I can see there would be instances where that would be handy, although, since you can’t always count on an Internet connection, combining that with the good old thumb drive helps round out robust solution.

Thanks for the information!

Keepass is another tool which is pretty popular. And there is also new breed of online password managers (that’s where I step in, I’m a co-founder of PassPack). Online services give you 24/7 access without toting around a USB key chain. They can be pretty useful for storing website passwords as they usually offer some sort of web auto-login feature.

Here is an online vs. offline comparison post:
