i like this useful tool, though i am sometimes a bit too lazy to put in all my new login data. anyway, it feels much safer to have everything locked away!

To Tony McCreath: Will check it out now. Thanks. To the webmaster: This is an incredibly important post. I’m not a web developer, but everyone would want to know about this. Thank you very much!

I use keepass now for a year or so and it is great – more secure and all the passwords in the same place! great thing.

@Olly: yes, that one does the rounds every now and then. The thing is, FileZilla is by far the best Windows-based FTP solution (free or not). Your priority should be securing your PC against trojans – use a good AV with a rootkit detector (I use Avast), keep your firewall up, and never, ever, ever, use Internet Explorer. As the FileZilla developer says, if your system is insecure enough to let a trojan as far as your FileZilla settings file, you’ve got bigger problems.

There is another virus/trojan doing the rounds thats stealing filezilla passwords from site manager and “recent servers” file (which is all your quick connect entries STORED IN PLAIN TEXT even though you havent asked for them to be saved)

Im currently having to migrate over 200 websites from site manager to KeePass, and am looking for better ftp solutions!

As a website developer I have 100s of passwords to manage and constantly enter. I ended up using KeePass because you can set it up to auto enter passwords on a key press.

And they are secure. Many work mates store passwords in plain text files and emails!

As its cross application you can also switch browsers and it still works.

I used it so much I wrote a free plug for it to import passwords from Firefox called ClockWork Firefox to KeePass Importer.

Good idea – and especially good that KeePass is free software.
