I hope Rocky doesn’t see this. But I’ve had enough of forgetting passwords and password reset e-mails taking hours and sometimes days to be sent. So I have downloaded and installed Password Minder by Keith Brown over at Pluralsight.
The issue came to a head when I was having a _secure_ IM conversation with one of our infrastructure guys – Derrick Buckley. Derrick was giving me about my 1000th unique username/password combination to remember and he himself wondered whether I would be able to remember.
Being an honest kinda guy, I said no – and he suggested Password Minder. So far I have about twenty passwords safely tucked away behind my super password (30–40 characters) and backups of the password file are taking place every week.
I’m a big fan (and user) of PasswordSafe (originally developed by Bruce Schneier.)
I’ve even taken it to Readify courses on a USB stick.
I find the combination of PWSafe and Sneakemail is invaluable.
Mitch,
What you really need is Secret Server! Get it for the whole Readify team. Heck, we might even throw in some free licenses for all you “influential” types!
Give it a try - I would love to hear you feedback.
It is perfect for technical and development teams.

I think Darren Neimke is going to do a review of it for us soon - so he may already be playing with it …
Cheers!
