[Fredslist] app for passwords

Or.
After making yourself as safe as you can (lock all doors and windows, have a
safety light go on at dusk with a barking dog alarm, put a sign on the
dashboard that says "No Radio", etc), 

Just assume all of your personal data is out there for the taking and don't
let it mess you up.

PS Stay out of grain silos and Chinese mines.

Jayne, Tessa and All,

The approach Danny laid out is very good - hi can make it MUCH better by
categorizing your passwords into HIGH VALUE, MEDIUM VALUE and LOW VALUE.

For each value group, use a different "base".

E.g. 

HIGH VALUE: L at tzHV!citibank

Medium Value: MVL at tz!starbucks

LOW VALUE: L at tz!gotham

This way, if a low value (to you) site gets broken into and your password
gets cracked (and it WILL be...math always wins), then all your passwords
are not at risk.

For HIGH VALUE sites (email, banks, trading accounts, financial portals,
etc), also consider enabling 2 factor authentication.

Given that in the past 5 years, Linkedin, Yahoo, eHarmony,
AdultFriendFinder, AshleyMadison, etc have ALL had their password databases
stolen, you need to plan for annual or semi-annual password changes as well.

If you like to read, here's an article I wrote for Entrepreneur Magazine
that lays out my password strategy:

Jayne and all:
In some cases you might be required to add a number. With the system Danny
has shown you can use the same arrangement but use a favorite number instead
of the bang (exclamation mark).

Hey Jayne,

Keeping the group on the list because this is a good password trick....

My advice is to create a one size fits all password, I don't rely on a
password manager.  Here's a trick I learned, which makes it so that you have
the same complex password everywhere, but it's always different.  Same but
different?!?!  How?  You ask???

For example:

You can do something like:

L at tz!websitename

So when you log into gotham, it's:

L at tz!gotham

When you log into gmail, it's:

L at tz!gmail

and so on and so on.  It's complex everywhere, and [almost] the same, but
different.

Enjoy!!!  

(PS, don't use Latz....) ;).

While on vacation this past week my password keeper on my iphone decided it
didn't like my password and it deleted ALL my files. Yikes!!

Hence, I am coming to my board of trusted advisers to find out which app is
safe/protected and recommended?

Thank you in advance.
