Email accounts, network logins, secure websites: How do you deal with all those passwords? You could use the same user name and password for everything and make some script kiddie the happiest hacker on the Net. You could pop some Ginkgo Biloba, do your best Rainman imitation, and hope you can remember all your personal identification info. "User name Kmart, definitely Kmart." Even better, use today's free file and you'll only need to remember one password.
Oubliette is a password manager, basically an encrypted database full of all your passwords. Here's how it works.
1. Add "New Accounts" for your various passwords.
2. Enter corresponding information for each account, user name, password, URL, etc., and click OK.
3. When you want to access this information, launch Oubliette, enter your master password, and select the proper account.
Oubliette also includes a fill-form function, a random password generator, and an option that'll make accounts expire after a certain number of days. The program supports both Blowfish and Idea encryption for ultimate protection.
One question remains: Is this some kind of French thing? I mean, what's up with the name? According to the author's FAQ, an Oubliette is "a secret dungeon with an opening only in the ceiling," which makes total sense if you think about it.
