Any negative side to this password manager program [KeePass] that anyone is aware of? Thanks, Jim.

In general, the best place to keep passwords is in your head. But, it's a good idea to have a different password for each service you log into, so if Someone Bad knows one of your passwords, they can't log in as you into everything else. So KeePass is a good way to keep track of the different passwords, HOWEVER, it's not a great idea to rely on software (or monitor sticky notes) for important high-security passwords.

Bob; Thank you for responding. I agree the more secretive a person is with their passwords the better. I was just curious about this particular program. Thanks, Jim.

You could use a BAT like the one below. A couple of advantages: [1] The CRCs generated are 8 char hex and unlikely in the extreme to be "dictionary words" or to be guessable. [2] The PWs [CRCs] are not, strictly speaking, "stored" anywhere. [3] creative file name selection should foil most spyware/hacks. ::== pm.bat @echo off echo suzi > suzi.pdf echo augi > augi.mpg crc32 suzi.pdf crc32 augi.mpg :: ==== ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
