Use TypeIt4Me for password storage and retrieval
Authored by: asan102 on Feb 04, '04 11:40:15PM

...How exactly is this superior to using the built-in Mac OS X Keychain? It seems like your just creating more work for yourself and making your information LESS secure, all while paying $30 for it.

With the keychain, it can automatically enter the correct information in all forms on a page, or alternatively do it when you click a button. With this, you still have to select each individual form and input the correct key-combo. Plus you have to manually enter all this information into the application's database in the first place. And if all you have to do is type three letters to get your passwords in cleartext, how is it secure? Unless you enter your account password every single time?

If it is only being used for login/pass (as a few posts have mentioned) then it's probably not worth it, but this app's function goes far beyond such a simple role; it is designed to be used as an all day every day typing assist tool.
