Most of you that use more than 3 websites or online applications, have this problem where you need to remember all the paswords and logins for all the different sites. Terrible. How do you remember them ?

Apple's OSX has a vault that integrates with about any software package you can imagine, including Firefox. Nice, you can have firefox digg up the login and password and fill it out, but you still have to click the login button. That's cool, as you seem to be in control. The vault is encrypted, so you're pretty safe. The real problem arises when you're on another computer and need access to an app. Either dig it up, remember it, write it down or something like that. But that's no timesaver. So what do we need ? Online password/encryption tooling.

Passpack is an option. It is not much different from Clipperz, a tool that doesn't even ask your emailadress, and works with a button you can put in your browser's bookmark for easy access.

And that's the biggest difference between Clipperz and Passpack. Where Clipperz tries to remain completely secure, not traceable to you as you provide not even your emailadress, Passpack needs one. On the other hand, passpack offers it's vault as an application you can manage and use for storing all kinds of sensitive information. Cool, but no thanks for me. I don't store anything but some passwords on an internetbased application. I just don't. Remember 'Enemy of the State'.

Passpack's CEO has put a nice comparison chart together.
