As a heavy Internet user, I have personal accounts on dozens of sites. For security reasons, I don't like to use the same password for them all, so I also have dozens of different passwords. As I also want to avoid using a common way of creating the passwords (so anyone knowing one of my password could find out the rest of them), this has lead me to a cloud of passwords in my head. Oftenly I am not able to remember the password for a particular site. I try and try and end clicking the "Forgotten password" link..... when it exists, because sometimes it doesn't and I have to create a new account. A pain.
I have the "remember passwords" feature enabled in Internet Explorer, but this only helps half of the times. If I use my laptop, or worst, the office's laptop, I'm lost. The passwods are only stored in my desktop computer. I don't want them in the office's laptop, as sometimes it's used by other people ,but I need the passwords in all my computers, being sure that they are secured and that no one can get them but me.
This is why I have decided to start the PassEv project. PassEv stands for Passwords Everywhere and it's a small utility wh¡ch will store my passwords securely and synchronize them in all my computers. You can get a better description of the project in the PassEv description page. Currently the PassEv Sync utility is planned to be released on July. Do you think it could be useful for you? Stay tuned and keep an eye on this page.
