PasswordWallet - A password management app
Authored by: designr on Jun 21, '05 06:02:29PM

I've been using this (Mac) version and Palm version for years (in my Treo 270 and now in my Treo 650). It has worked flawlessly. I highly recommend it.

As to putting its password in the keychain, my distrust of the keychain is why I bought it in the first place. I often leave my laptop sitting around at client's offices. I sometimes loan my laptop to clients' employees in emergencies. The keychain is fine for most things but I don't want somebody walking up to my laptop, clicking a button and seeing my credit card numbers.

I prefer the separate blowfish encryption.

Has anybody tried Web Confidential? I have used it satisfactorily for years on Mac and Palm; I don't know how it compares to the apps already mentioned.

Your keychains are just as secure as any other proprietary application. They are strongly encrypted and nobody can read them without a password. It sounds like your problem is that you don't require a password to unlock your keychain, or that you don't have it automatically lock after use.

But I don't actually suggest using keychain. Just recently I lost all my passwords because the Keychain Access program had a bug that corrupted my keychain. There was nothing I could do and since the file format isn't documented I couldn't even try to recover anything myself.

So create a seperat "guest" account for the people you loan the PowerBook to!
