| 1199817 | 2011-05-06 08:45:00 | So? Never heard of it. The PSN contained credit card details. | bot (15449) | ||
| 1199818 | 2011-05-06 10:04:00 | LastPass was the recommended replacement solution when Xmarks ceased password syncing (even though the bookmark syncing still continues). I installed the LastPass plugin but as soon as I heard they may have been compromised, I logged on and deleted all my records (after backing them up locally, of course). Never again. |

| 1199820 | 2011-05-06 23:48:00 | Yes . Best to store them in your head . Difficult with the sheer number of passwords I have to deal with . The brain I am currently using is not as reliable as it used to be either . |

| 1199821 | 2011-05-07 02:25:00 | I have 48. | pctek (84) | ||
| 1199822 | 2011-05-07 02:37:00 | I have around 90, and that doesn't include all the server passwords at various client sites (which were not recorded on LastPass BTW - I have a wee flash drive app for them) | johcar (6283) | ||
| 1199823 | 2011-05-07 04:41:00 | I have an Excel spreadsheet with them all entered in there. Then renamed to an obscure .dll and put in my win\sys32 dir. Effectively hidden in plain sight really. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
