Also another win for Single-Site Browsers like Fluid and Prism. I wouldn't expect to see Gmail in my main browser window.
And for those, like me, who had not heard of Single-Site Browsers, here are some links:
However, I'm at a point where I need to figure out a recovery plan, because, you see, my Dropbox password is in 1Password as well, and my email password too. So, I could imagine a scenario where something gets compromised and I have a hard time getting it back…
added bonus:my wife has access to my password file because of dropbox, so when i add a new password for some service she may need, it immediately and securely shows up on her mac.
I don't think I've seen the latter, though I would love to see some way of sharing just a part of my DB with my wife. (she has a pretty weak master password, so one shared DB would not work well for me)
oh, and the 1Password/DropBox combination is brilliant
I would have to try it, but this looks good. Thanks for the tip!
I've been using LastPass for the last week. It has Chrome extensions which on my personal Macs and work Windows machines. The Chrome extension UX is a bit too rough for me to recommend it to non-techies but I think the idea and execution is sound.
Recommended. I don't use it for Gmail or banking passwords of course.
Brilliant, I'm going to do that right now. Thank you!
My personal favorite feature: the keychain-package is just a folder / bundle, and it contains a website... which is capable of decrypting your passwords, given your master password. Which means you can recover your passwords without the application, on any machine with a web browser. Including through the Dropbox web interface, without needing to download it locally.
Go for it, they've made an excellent product.
* shrug * 'tis strange.
Between that and noscript (and enough savvy to spot even slightly-wrong websites), I haven't had any problems. I don't think this attack would work on me because I've long kept email segregated from normal web browsing due to other attacks, which rely on you clicking malicious links while logged into the site they want to get your information from. So I would, if anything, just think I'd clicked on the wrong shortcut and close out of it rather than logging in. Score one for paranoia? I've never been infected by spyware/viruses/etc.
