where do you store all the passwords you need to remember?

(but instead of writing the actual password, I have a cryptic clue to what it is
e.g. usual + ¨12345¨ where usual is the base password)

I do tend to use the same low risk password on all forum signups, and the same complex password for bank accounts, shops etc

Password selection rules

CORPORATE DIRECTIVE NUMBER 88-570471

In order to increase the security of all company computing facilities, and to avoid the possibility of unauthorized use of these facilities, new rules are being put into effect concerning the selection of passwords. All users of computing facilities are instructed to change their passwords to conform to these rules immediately.

RULES FOR THE SELECTION OF PASSWORDS:

1. A password must be at least six characters long, and must not contain two occurrences of a character in a row, or a sequence of two or more characters from the alphabet in forward or reverse order. Example: HGQQXP is an invalid password. GFEDCB is an invalid password.

2. A password may not contain two or more letters in the same position as any previous password. Example: If a previous password was GKPWTZ, then NRPWHS would be invalid because PW occurs in the same position in both passwords.

3. A password may not contain the name of a month or an abbreviation for a month. Example: MARCHBC is an invalid password. VWMARBC is an invalid password.

4. A password may not contain the numeric representation of a month. Therefore, a password containing any number except zero is invalid. Example: WKBH3LG is invalid because it contains the numeric representation for the month of March.

5. A password may not contain any words from any language. Thus, a password may not contain the letters A, or I, or sequences such as AT, ME, or TO because these are all words.

6. A password may not contain sequences of two or more characters which are adjacent to each other on a keyboard in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal direction. Example: QWERTY is an invalid password. GHNLWT is an invalid password because G and H are horizontally adjacent to each other. HUKWVM is an invalid password because H and U are diagonally adjacent to each other.

7. A password may not contain the name of a person, place, or thing. Example: JOHNBOY is an invalid password.

Because of the complexity of the password selection rules, there is actually only one password which passes all the tests. To make the selection of this password simpler for the user, it will be distributed to all supervisors. All users are instructed to obtain this password from his or her supervisor and begin using it immediately.

Just trying eWallet Lite on the iPhone. How do you lock the wallet?

EDIT: scrap that, found it.

On the Desktop version, is there a shortcut button to copy and paste the username and password details to clipboard?

I don't think I would trust an online password service.

1Password is already multi platform as there is a Windows beta client to go with the established OSX version.

Definitely the best password manager with browser integration, iPhone + iPad versions and wireless sync.

I already have 1Password for the iPHone but nothing to sync it with as the desktop version costs.

But I will pay for a cross platform product. 1Password is twice the price and eWallet has an OS X preview.

The master password is used to generate another based on your chosen settings. I just bring that form up whenever I need to log in to a site.

Similar to what I do. I have a folder with .txt. files in corresponding to the name of the website. Inside that I list my username, registered email address (usually in the format @mydomainname.co.uk) and a hint to the password.
This is then stored in an encrypted Truecrypt volume, with copies kept on a USB key and locally on a couple of machines. I then periodically sync the contents with MSFT Synctoy and upload the encrypted volume to skydrive in case my house burns down while the keys are in the house

Works for me

I keep them on a post it note in my drawer. No one would ever think of looking there!

For everything other than work, Roboform.

I use 1Password. I changed from RoboForm to 1Password. With DropBox, my passwords are synced between the iMac at work and my PC at home. This way, I can do some work in the comfort of my own home, IF I NEED TO.

I'm using LastPass at work as it was recommended...

At home, I use SplashID on my PC and SplashID on my iPhone and sync the two...
