I don’t know if you’d consider it security or not – but roboform has a brill part-freeware program. It stores like 15 passwords for sites for free – (Though I’ve bought the full-licence version) as I enter tons of competitions and have hundreds of websites that are password generated – and roboform itself can be password protected on top 🙂
(Though saying that, I back my roboform up all the time on stick memory – just in case my ‘puter crashes and I visit websites and haven’t an inkling WHAT my password is!)
And in this case – and I can joke freely about it – the best password is the one you don’t even know you have!
Have a check of it and I’d love to know what you think about it 🙂

Yeah, I will add Roboform anytime soon, it’s a very good program.
It’s just I’m still working on this blog and I have a lot of work to do here 😉

Ok! No problem 🙂
I’ve got a few other programs that are quite good – I’m at work but will drop you a line when I’m at home-
Fyi- one page you might want to link to as well is old version (just google it) where it keeps a running tab including downloads of older versions of software (like msn, icq, etc.) as a resource for your blog. It’s a brilliant, but developing site.
Also for chat, there’s a brillint link for msn2go I think it’s called – a web-based java msn interface (For those that like to MSN, at work and can’t d/l the program to thier computer (No admin privs)
