I just switched all my firefox saved passwords to a min of 20 characters with mixed casing/numericals/symbols.
Took me maybe an hour to change them all and get them all into Keepass and delete them from Firefox's saved passwords.

Surprisingly this password manager is alot easier to navigate and use than others that I've tried to use previously.
(Roboform, etc.)

Now it's just getting use to having to go there to tell keepass to insert login info instead of having it there automatically.

Jaymie, from what I've gathered strong passwords aren't suppose to be something that you can remember.
Keepass stores your login info for you and you create a master password or in my case a keyfile that gets stored on a flashdrive.
From within keepass you can tell it to insert your login info for you and log you into your email or whatever.

Use a tool like 1password if you are a mac user. Or KeePass (no experience with that one). You have to think about it in this way. If you can remember it it is most likely a easy to break password. All my passwords are generated by 1password, and are at least 25 characters long with numbers/characters/special tokens which don't repeat. Indeed, I can't remember them but I don't mind cause my mac will (when unlocked with the master pass )

There are a few 25 char insane passwords that I do remember, but it took typing them in about 50 times to remember them.

Well I have got my random password with all characters and changed it on my forums that are run on phpBB software.

I hope I can remember them so i wont keep losing it.

I have sent it to my self on an email subject is Frown, and just pasted my password in there with nothing else so if that gets hacked then they wont have a clue what it is.

That is the main point behind these programs. > KeePass
They store the passwords in a database (preferably the app is on a USB stick drive for optimum security), each assigned to a URL or some sort of identifier, in which if your cookies are cleared, you open the drive, put in your database password, then go to the identifier and right click and copy the password to your clipboard for pasting in the login.

No remembering involved.

As for the FireFox plugin posted above, I wouldn't use it for important passwords (Admin, Cpanel, Server Access, etc...),
I have no idea how secure they are once saved in that plugin.
I love FireFox, but remember that Windows platforms are insecure as it is with all of its open ports.
If this is not used on a secure network, and masked internet connection it could be a bad deal.

That's the reason for using portable programs like KeePass so you can unplug it when done retrieving your passwords.

You better hope that you don?t remember it. Chances are that if you can remember your password, it is much too simple and short of a password.

I hope you use a different password for every site? And it it not only for phpBB boards, but for every account you can possibly get on the internet.
And please forget the passwords . Your computer is made to remember that kind of stuff.
