Not really. Forgetting your password to Yahoo!, Gmail, Twitter, Hotornot, or "other" sites can be downright annoying and maddening. It's not a cute situation at all.
But now it might be with the software Cute Password Manager.
For some reason, we end up with 12 different passwords for 25 different sites. It never fails. So a password manager is nothing new.
What does Cute offer that's different? Well let's take a look:
- AutoSaving passwords in your browser saves time. Firefox and others has this built in, but it's nice to have something outside of the browser in case it crashes and dies.
- Cute will generate really strong passwords for you to manage. So you could unify all of your passwords with one that's solid. And you don't have to remember it.
- Encrypt passwords and personal data using AES.
- Info is stored on your PC only (No Macs though...boooooo)
- Backup & Restore, Print your passwords.
- Fights Phishing by filling passwords only on matching web sites.
- Imports & Exports your passwords with text and csv format file.
Exhausting.
Also, how secure is this if you have more than one person using your computer? There might be certain sites you don't want your um significant other um...discovering?
But hey, that's on you.
Don't get too cute, but feel free to save some brain space by flushing out your internal memory cache. It's free, so give it a try and let us know what you think!

I recently just switched to Cute Password Manager. It's great for a non computer savvy person like me.
I was able to install then use it right away without much learning curve. Thanks for the recommendation!
