Using more than one simple word as your password increases you security substantially (from 3 minutes to 2 months). But, by simply using 3 words instead of two, you suddenly got an extremely secure password. It takes: * 1,163,859 years using a brute-force method * 2,537 years using a common word attack * 39,637,240 years using a dictionary attack It is 10 times more secure to use "this is fun" as your password, than "J4fS

Good point but if you have Firefox like me. Just go up to:
1. Tools
2. Options
3. Security
4. Saved Passwords
That is every single password you ever saved onto your computer!edit on 22-4-2011 by xShadow13 because: (no reason given)
Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your website's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. The thief would have access to your e-mail account, website, etc. Unimaginable.
KeePass is a free open source password manager, which helps you to manage your passwords in a secure way. You can put all your passwords in one database, which is locked with one master key or a key file. So you only have to remember one single master password or select the key file to unlock the whole database. The databases are encrypted using the best and most secure encryption algorithms currently known (AES and Twofish). For more information, see the features page.
