Password storage program?

there is an app called Wallet out there.
and of course every mac has their Keychain too.

 

i saw it the other day as well and it intruiged me.
i'll have to download it later and see how it is.

let me know what you think of it, if you will.

 

Does anyone use Keychain as a password keeper, I mean aside from the sense that it stores your passwords for Mail.app and instant messaging and so on? I know people have talked about using it to store additional passwords. But I've never really played around with it.

 

Yep, I do. Works OK. I just create a new secure note, and enter whatever I want in there. Enough for me!

Though . . . Wallet has a beautiful slick interface. I almost bought it.

Is this the Wallet program that you are discussing?
VersionTracker

How safe/secure is this info for the following:

1. Other users of your computer. I am thinking of a home computer so my kids are the only concern.

2. Access via wireless network from an outside computer.

I guess that I am just concerned about putting in all the credit card info etc into a computer file.

 

I should at least dump a certain text file that shouldn't be on my hard drive into one of these secure notes.

 

another option

FWIW, the reviews of Wallet on macupdate are very poor (but good on versiontracker). I was a bit unnerved by post claiming it's buggy and that it lost ALL data. Not good for a password storage solution.

I've been using info.xhead (see macupdate) for several months, and have been very happy - it has a great UI and no bugs that I'm aware of. The only "con" I can think of is that it is slooooow to launch - it'll bounce about 5 times in the dock before launching... WTF?...

Something to consider. Shareware $15. I'm not affiliated with info.xhead in any way other than a satisfied customer.

 

I use Barebones' Yojimbo which stores a lot of data. I store all of my software serial numbers as well as passwords in it.

Might be a little pricey, but it's a great app.

 

looks interesting

Thanks radiantm3 for that link. Yojimbo looks interesting (and of course barebones is very well known), though for its other uses... as a password/website/serial number holder I personally would prefers a solution more dedicated exclusively to that.

Still, Yojimbo looks like something I'd want as just a general data organizer... have looked at many such solutions, never found one totally satisfactory.
