Keyfiler: Offsite storage for your license keys
While we've looked at a variety of ways to store files and documents offsite, KeyFiler does one thing and does it well: lets you store license keys an registration information for web sites and programs. You can create an account for free and start storing your data within moments. Your information is encrypted and stored on Keyfiler's servers. If you're really paranoid, you can choose the high security option when you signup, and if you lose or forget your password, KeyFiler will refuse to let you reset it.
Once you've entered your data, you can export it as a CSV file, or print a report showing all of your license information for software or websites fitting certain criteria.
The service is free to use, but has a clever advertising-based business model. As the About KeyFiler page points out, registered users are almost certainly people who have paid for software in the past. So odds are they'd be willing to pay for software in the future. That's a pretty compelling reason for advertisers to sign on.

What if what if, hey?
What are you gonna do if what if happens?
Is there any common sense left in people, or des "this" needs to add to the GDP by sucking more money out of the people's pockets where they already keep their passwords, family photos, wallet and house keys?
When is too much too much?
I abhor the use of fear, that's all.

I was looking for a service like this about a month ago, and could not find one. Decided to use a spreadsheet at Google Docs. This is better. Thank you.

You might want to drop Philosophy 101, jfjb; I think it's getting to your head. ;)
