Clipperz: online password management
As we've pointed out in the past, the only way to make sure you don't have your entire online (or financial) identity stolen is to use a different password for every web site you visit. At the very least, you should not be using the same email address for your bank, email, and Flickr accounts.
But how are you going to remember dozens of different passwords? Odds are, you aren't. That's where programs that keep track of them for you come in. All you need to remember is the password for that program, and all the rest of your passwords are available when you need them.
Right, but what if you need to login to some sites from home, others at work, and you might desperately need to check another site while on vacation? Clipperz is an online password management solution. The service lets you create a bookmark for one site with information allowing you to login to dozens or hundreds of other web pages. Clipperz itself asks that you come up with a pass phrase, rather than a pass word, for improved security.
Of course, you not only need to really trust Clipperz before storing any sensitive data on the site, but also to trust that the service will never be hacked. In other words, you might be best off storing your banking and credit card somewhere else.

They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
