Hi Tim,
There are a few good and accessible password managers available from the
www.jaws-user.com/programs
site. (or the section on jaws-users.com that deals with programs.) A
program called passKeeper springs to mind. Piriform (who do the CCleaner
program and other useful utilities) also have one, that works well. last
I heard, it was accessible. maybe you pay for that one.

Hi,
As recent news stories have proved, maintaining a strong and secure
password
is very important online.
Also, it is important not to use the same password for multiple
accounts,
i.e. using the same password for your online bank and your twitter
accounts.
The problem with this is that we are forced with the prospect of
trying to
remember numerous passwords, all of which are complicated enough for
the
hackers out there to find difficult to guess.
I don't know about you, but often I take the easy way out and just use
2 or
three different passwords, rather than a different one for every
online
account.
One solution is to use a password manager. This is either a piece of
software on your pc or online which allows you to store passwords for
each
of your accounts and then to retrieve this passwords automatically
when
logging into a particular account.
The advantage of this is that you don't need to remember the passwords
yourself and they are kept as secure as possible.
I'm wondering if people have any experience of using these password
management services?
Which are the easiest to use and are accessible, while at the same
time
providing all the features you would want?
Regards,
Tim
