I think keychains are dangerous
Authored by: pcunix on Feb 12, '03 02:33:26PM

I think keychains are dangerous. I don't mean in terms of security, but consider what happens if you lose that machine. Yes, we hope you have backup, but who knows: you may be switching to some other architecture entirely or for whatever reason be temporarily unable to have this automatic fill in. Or you may be off somewhere else and need to access a resource that you usually access from the keychained machine.

You aren't going to remember your account info and you'll be helpless. If you forget about letting your computer remember things for you, you will have this stuff in your own mind.
<p>Just my opinion, of course.
