Hi all,
After reading a few threads about fake sites etc. I thought I would share a FREE...encrypted password program I've been using for several years now.
The program is called "Roboform." You can find the free download at roboform.com.
What it does is this. If your like myself, I have many sites requiring passwords banks, credit cards, paypal, etc. With this program, it will save and encrypt your passwords (up to ten free) and you only have to manually put them in once on your pc.
You only have one master password that you enter to use roboform while browsing around, so it also keeps anyone who access's your pc from finding them out too.
Another big kicker is, let's say you go to the paypal login page, if it is an imposter page, roboform will not recognize it. Which will alert you to the fact someone is after your info.(this actually happened to me, I went to a paypol.com page that looked exactly like the paypal page)
There are some other nifty features too, you can sync it with a web server etc. And for a price of course there is a version you can buy to have an unlimited number of passwords. If anything, it keeps you from having to type in passwords all the time.
I highly recommend it.
Cheers
