Neat password management tool.

Postby jason on Mon Aug 25, 2008 4:08 pm

I was looking for a password management database since I have so many passwords to remember. I wanted something that I could host with a php front end and a mysql backend. I found out that there is not to many of these kicking around. There are quite a few that store your password with a single master password on a local db on your PC but the server database ones are few and far between. So the one I like is clipperz, open source GPL http://www.clipperz.com. I had some problems getting it going on Fedora 7 since its needs bcmath but other than that its preety neat. I like the secure direct login where you can store a websites credentials and have it autolog to on to all kinds of websites. Quite handy for administrators that need to logon to a bunch of sites and even more handy if a hacker gets a hold of your credentials to the DB so be carefull.

I use a PC in a server environment protected by a very secure Firewall. I access a few sites on the internet to record utility meter readings and other personal info. These sites use complex and different user-id's and sometimes require special passwords. Would the subject software allow me to load all these sites with their special login info and Firefox browser and access them with minimal overhead?

Yes, the clipperz tool is quite easy to use, and it does offer the capabilities of automatically logging you into password protected sites. They have an online demo you can use, before you try and install it on your Linux box.
