Faster Method using LaunchBar
Authored by: valx on Jan 28, '04 06:46:37PM

I was just playing around with this idea in LaunchBar and found something that may be a little faster and more convenient.

Rather than creating individual text files for each password, just create one html file. For each password create a line like:

<a href="mypassword">Some Web Site</a>

Save the file as described above using the encrypted disk image, login item, etc.

Then in LaunchBar set this file up to be scanned for bookmarks. When you type the name in LaunchBar, it automatically displays the password in LaunchBar without having to actually open any other files. Also, just by typing command-c while the password is displayed in LaunchBar, you have copied it to the clipboard so you can paste it wherever you like.

This way you only have one file for all your passwords and you don't have to open and close text files just to see a password.

I didn't think to try that -- it's a great idea, but I don't think it'd work for me, as I often need to store more than just a password. I like the flexibility that the text file approach affords me.
