This is a good time to purchase a password-vault app - AND USE IT!

View on HN

Have you ever entered one of those passwords with a playstation controller?

yes, it's up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, X, O, X, O

It doesn't have to use all those funny characters. But the vault at least allows you to use a different password for each site. Which, in this case, might be pretty important.

What password vaults also run on your PS3?

Okay, I see KeePass and Password Gorilla recommended here in the other replies. I use KeePass actually, and I've seen PGorilla. But I'd like something that is integrated with the iPhone - and works with Linux and Windows too.

There's an app called Strip that looks pretty good. I'm listening to other suggestions.

I've used LastPass since the Gawker breach. It works with iOS and automatically syncs password databases across all browsers and mobile devices. I've been very happy with it thus far.

Keepassx is compatible with keepass. You can also run the new version of keepass on mono.

I just email and normal encryption methods. It's the simplest thing for me.

Keepass is great, easy, and free.

<3 <3 <3 keepass. It has clients for Linux, Windows and OS X, not to mention many smartphones (stick to the 1.x version for this.) This, along with dropbox makes for an awesome way to keep track of passwords securely.

No need to purchase. Just put the "Password Gorilla"[1] binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac on your Dropbox be done with it.
