Portable multi platform password manager

Thu Jul 23 21:55:27 UTC 2009

I've been using Password-Gorilla on Ubuntu, which reads the same files
as Password Safe on Windows.  There are a bunch of psafe-compatible apps
listed here:

http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/relatedprojects.shtml

KeePassX looks great though - thinking about switching to that.

I've heard of the YubiKey, but it's intended for a different scenario:
as a second authentication factor in addition to a password.  It doesn't
store passwords on the key.

Victor, please also look at why your email client is only sending HTML
mail - some of us still use text clients :)
