Now I understand we need these tools so we can keep certain information out of the public space but it’s frustrating that I have to use two different tools for the same job. A suggestion – why don’t we write the backend stuff to store information privately and a load of Greasemonkey scripts for each of the different apps to integrate both into the same user interface? Just a thought.

Having said all that, maybe it’s a good thing – maybe it keeps me in the right mindset for not disclosing things accidentally. When I’m using an internal tool I know what I can and should say and vice-versa for the external tools.

1. My passwords are completely unmemorable and stored in a specific location. This makes it difficult to use one of my accounts on another machine (e.g. phone, Wii, internet cafe) without planning in advance. It also means I have to backup the store somewhere (and preferably a couple of places).
2. To access my passwords on my machine I have to have a password to login to the operating system and then another to unlock the password store. These will have to be memorable so I don’t get locked out and hence will most likely be the same as my brain can’t cope with much. Either that or I write them down somewhere.

One option to solve this would be to use an online password store (a quick search seems to reveal quite a few). Firstly, I can’t use these for work and secondly how can I trust them myself? Thoughts? Suggestions? How does everyone else solve this problem? Or is it just me worrying too much…
