Remember those passwords

Increasingly, websites and services require you to establish a username (often your email address) and password before you can access the good stuff they offer. While we used to worry about handing over email addresses because we feared we would be spammed, these days you’ll find most sites you choose to visit are reputable and do not share your email address with others.

What becomes a nuisance nowadays, is trying to remember all those web passwords we create.

You don’t want to use the same password all the time, as it is a better practice to vary it. I used to keep a piece of paper near my computer listing all the different sites and usernames and passwords I had. What a mess!

Then I discovered this free program you can download called Whisper32.

This program will save all your usernames and passwords to one file. You need to memorize one password to access the file.

Admittedly, I am not brave enough to put my Internet banking password on a Whisper file, but Whisper does provide a handy way to keep track of web passwords that aren’t connected with any exchange of money or highly personal information.
