117664	2003-02-01 10:41:00	I use an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of my passwords for various web sites. Dyslexic is spelt this way> :-) YMMV!!!	Elephant (599)

Good to be able to post again and thanks for the good work. I'm sure all PressF1 fans agree. I am now going to Preview and Spell check this one. If it gets on then at this time it works. :-) Spot th deliberate spelling mistake... th for the.. I have previewed and spell checked and back in Edit mode. Now check the preview and spell check again now I know I have a spelling error. Spell checker found two instances of the word "th" in the above so appears to be working. Posting now. :-)	Elephant (599)
117666	2003-02-01 10:55:00	OK... It all worked!!!!!!!!!	Elephant (599)

117668	2003-02-01 20:55:00	My CardFile is just so handy - everyone should have one. :D This is from Graham Petrie many moons ago: TIP: Save yourself entering all those details over and over... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sick of entering name and email at every post? I have found some software which is initially a 128bit encyption password database, but allows usernames and passwords to be auto entered at sites using a drag and drop interface. However, other information can also be stored such as required for an F1 post. I simply drag an icon on to the post page, and all my details are entered. Try it esp. advanced features It is called KeyWallet and is downloadable freeware at www.keywallet.com/ or http: I know other software out there does similar things, but I found this to be a nice tidy little app which fufilled my purposes nicely (It just so happened that I was in the middle of designing my own software to do the same sort of thing so I have been saved the trouble.) I haven't tried it myself -- all my passwords are written down on a sheet of paper which is then buried under all my mess on the PC desk. No one here is brave enough to disturb anything. :D	Susan B (19)

And that feature shows you a small meter that tells you if your password is any good. But as they say, if you throw enough grunt at something any password can be broken.	Gorela (901)
117670	2003-02-02 04:08:00	I broke my Lotus Notes ID file password (11Chars long) by a brute force attack on a P3 667Mhz in only 3-4 days. There was no dictionary attack involved, so right from the letter 'A' (or 'a' coz its case sensitive) it went... MILLIONS of combinations I tell ya, especially seeing as they're case sensitive!

117671	2003-02-02 05:47:00	90% of my passwords don't really matter at all. I have a select few which I use for those. Others do matter... I don't use the same passwords for these types. Also I believe one is probably better to have a password they can remember than to be writing down passwords for everywhere.	-=JM=- (16)
