With most web sites requiring password logins, and many having different criteria for the password format, it can be a little intimidating attempting to remember all the passwords and login related information.

Hassle free password recall is now easier than ever.  Instead of keeping a list of passwords for all your web sites, manufacturer logins, music,, video and other miscellaneous places can be a real hassle.  There are now several programs you can use which will remember not only your passwords, but also information for filling in forms, etc.  The program I like the best is Roboform.  The program is $29.95 and is sometimes discounted.  They also have a flash drive version you can plug in your flash drive into any computer and your passwords are all there for you to use.

I still recommend a password protected Excel spreadsheet with all your passwords there in case you need them, at least for backup.  I use a version on the desktop computer and sync the Roboform logins between the desktop and the flash drive.  Sometimes, for a few dollars, life can be simplified.
