Do you use a usb password manager? I want one
 

I was shopping today.. Saw a usb passport manager.. looks like a flash drive. I want to buy one, but not sure what's a good one

How are they.. do they work well.. what model do you have or reccomend?

http://www.roboform.com

I love robo form

I use password manager XP. I bought it, and LOVE IT.

I can now store all passwords pretty safe. (512encryption)

This manager can even store outlook passwords as well(and fill them for you)

:disgust I meant the little portable ones you take with you for when you're on different machines.. So I have my passwords available when I'm home on desktop, on the road with laptop, or on the desktop in the office..

You understand what I mean now...

We sent out a couple hundred to affiliates with instructions on how to set them up. Here is what I recommend:
Get a drive from www.ocztechnology.com. They are the fastest drives around. Not all USB 2.0 drives are the same!
Install portable robo form http://www.roboform.com/download.html Pass2Go for USB disks (not U3)

Then you're done! Unless you want to get real fancy like me.

Then here is the fun part (if you want to also install trillian on there as well as auto-backups)
Go to http://www.trilliananywhere.com/ and follow their instructions.

then
Replace contents of Autorun.inf with this:

[autorun]
open=run.bat
icon=mm.ico
action=Run Cunts!
;label=RocknRoll

[launcher pc]
open=run.bat


----------------

create run.bat (in note pad and save to the thumb drive)

@ECHO OFF

ECHO Starting ROBOFORM . . .
start .\PortableRoboForm.exe
ECHO Start trillian?
PAUSE
ECHO Starting Trillian . . .
cd .\Trillian2GO\
start .\trillian.exe
cd ..
ECHO Would you like to back up the thumb drive?
ECHO Press "CTRL C"to exit
PAUSE
rar a -hp[YOURPASS FOR RAR FILE GOES HERE] C:\Thumbdrive_backup.rar @backup.file.txt
ftp -s:ftp.txt
ECHO Delete local backup?
ECHO Press "CTRL C"to exit
PAUSE
del C:\Thumbdrive_backup.rar

Note: When you go to recover the contents of the rar file you will need to include the [ and ] when typing the password. It's a bug in the command line version of winrar.
------------------

then create your back up files
write this to: ftp.txt and save on the thumb drive. This file tells ftp your login info so you can save a copy OFF your local machine and thumbdrive (nice if you loose both)

open ftp.yourdomain.com
yourFTPusername
yourFTPpass
lcd c:\
bin
hash
put Thumbdrive_backup.rar
bye
----------------------------
write this to: backup.file.txt and save on the thumb drive. This will list what you want to back up and save


.\Trillian2Go //backup Trillian2Go
.\My Roboform Data //backup Roboform Data
.\Roboform //backup Roboform Data
.\PortableRoboForm.exe //backup Roboform Data
.\run.bat //backup Runbat.txt
.\rar.exe //backup rar program
.\backup.file.txt //backup backup.file.txt

------------------------------

You'll need to add some more files to make it all work. Like rar.exe from www.rarsoft.com and a fancy icon if you want to be L33T and shit :)



when you're done you should have something like this in your thumb drive

.\Trillian2Go
.\My Roboform Data
.\Roboform
PortableRoboForm.exe
run.bat
rar.exe
backup.file.txt
Autorun.inf
MM.ico

and when you pop it in to run you'll have a little dos window ask you one by one the things you want to do :) Please note, I am not a programmer, nor do I claim this is the best way to do it. It works for me and I was able to get the most important shit done in a few min with these little batch files. If you have a better way, I would love to know :)

PS, if you should happen to loose your thumb drive (as I have) your passwords are encrypted with a master password and therefore pretty safe. If you're ultra paranoid you can always install www.trucrypt.org software and encrypt the whole thing before even putting anything on there (but that's excessive IMO)

Thank you Mayor :thumbsup

Ilove my USB drive with Pass2Go. :thumbsup Such a time and brain saver!

Lol I did it the first time already. When you look at this APP, you can see you can use it on any USB advice. You can use it locally, or on USB...

The app itself can run from USB as well. When you unplug the USB, all your data is safe with you, and no data isleft on that computer
