    I use Lastpass. I have it on my Mac, my iPhone and my PC, many of which often are accessing the system at the same time. My wife uses the same account for her stuff. Works flawlessly on Firefox (on PC and Mac) and Safari (on Mac) , the IOS version is OK but not great.

      Fortunately few servers come with a sound card.

        As for heartbleed I have 1,000 password files by the looks of it and feck knows how many servers to update
        As CUK doesn't use SSL, presumably passwords (or a hash thereof) are sent plaintext anyway?

          That's how I understand it. The ironic thing is that if you stuck to non-SSL those clear text sessions would only be available to someone who can sniff the network at some point in between you and the site concerned (e.g. GCHQ/NSA), but if you used SSL, the bad guys might get a peek and in an untraceable manner too. If I've understood it all correctly, of course.

            I use lastpass and was totally happy with it until the latest release, which seems to confuse things. Doesn't work with Windows 8 Metro.

              You might as well try it, it's free.

                An FYI to Lastpass users - click on the icon in your browser toolbar, select Tools then Security Check and it will scan your vault to show sites / passwords affected by Heartbleed, along with which have updated their certificates so you should change your passwords, along with which are yet to update so you should wait.
