Password manager is a good idea?


Hello,

What do people think about password managers?

I've got a lot of passwords for different services, including important services like banking, paypal, etc, but the list has grown to 6 sides of A4 paper, the passwords are all 12 characters long. Its getting quite tiring to constantly search for and type in these passwords)

Would you trust all your important passwords to be in an (albeit) encrypted file somewhere on your computer?

btw, here is the program Im thinking of using:

The one that I have seen recommended the most is KeePass. It runs on a number of different systems and is simple to setup and use. It is particularly useful if you need to access the same sites on a number of different computers and devices.
