Computeroids - please answer an easy one
How do you store various ID's and passwords and paste them into those prompt boxes at websites demanding ID's and passwords? Yeah - I'm a lazy ass and my back is killing me.

6. another vote for roboform
I have it at work. When I come home I am so frustrated that I haven't installed it here. It has a feature where you can password protect your passwords so if at work, no one else can see it without the master password.

8. You can also throw 'em on a USB keychain drive and take them with you
It's just a great program. There's generally no more than a one or two day gap between updates of Mozilla / Firefox and RoboForm, too.

3. The simples way is to use Word or similar program and
enter all your user names and pw's and then copy/paste then as you need them. That is if you don't want to use other programs.

4. That's not a secure way of managing your passwords
all microsof apps have serious security flaws.

7. Thanks for all the input
Since I'm an IE slummer, think I'll try that RoboForm thingy. There are just times when I get all slumped down in the chair and don't want to raise up for an hour or two.
