Hey Guys,

Great post op. But guy's let's face facts who wants to read the long intellectual ramblings of a forum administrator and so called software specialist? Damn straight me either!!

Don't worry I'm going to keep this short, I'm here to help the community in any way I can.

I'll start by distributing my FREE and tested Ultraprotect software expertly coded by an anonymous and 100% kosher computer genius in the same fantastic spirit as Satoshi himself!!

Obviously when distributing any software to the Bitcoin community you have to be careful it gets sent to who its intended, otherwise my organisation could be responsible for protecting cyber criminals, money launderers or terrorists!

For your FREE no catch copy just send me a quick email confirming your identity, with Name, Mothers maiden name, bank account details (for verification purpose only), ATM PIN, and online banking password and we'll dispatch your free no catch software immediately. As an added bonus for registration we'll enter you into our free prize drawer to inherit my rich uncle's (Abayomi Namambo) inheritance to the tune of 1300201 USD

If you can't be bothered to do all that no worries!! just download our software for free here (we're nice guys, we're happy if you're happy!) www.dropbox.com/bitcoinwalletprotector.exe

Like Bitcoin we're limiting this offer to the first 21000000 people who write back and we've just hit the 20m mark so act fast.

Excellent advice, thank goodness for these forums!

Thanks a bunch for all this info, never knew about any of this stuff before.

Thanks for the tips. I use GAuth whenever possible (such as on GLBSE), but I never did like password vaults.

Thanks for the tips

I have sworn by lastpass for over a year. All you have to do is how they implement it...then you know how impossibly useless the data they keep on their servers is....only you have the key, and you can add more that just a traditional password...i use a grid for every new device that only I and lastpass know. And, tomorrow, I'm getting 2 yubikeys to complete my little data safe. For my pc, I rely on free Avira andtivirus and free comodo firewall. THat has served me pretty well, but I added this Zemana Anti-logger last week and it is like something out of a dream. If all keylogging/etc is impossible, then a virus wouldn't be able to grab my info anyway!! I was so happy with the Anitlogger (i had been looking for a decade for just this functionality in security software) that I bought their Malware program (much cheaper, much less impressive, but still high ratings and stuff). And regularly backup to 3 seperate devices with 3 different truecrypt drives with all different LONG passwords.....THANK YOU LastPass! (I pay for premium lastpass...I like to be able to get the service on my cell, and five bucks is nothing for what I get in return)

I love Keepass. It has a nice android client so I always have my passwords with me and its autotype feature is nice on sites that don't allow pasting passwords. It will also automatically dump the clipboard after a specified time. On another point, you'd have to hit me with a pretty big wrench to get my password.

Obligatory XKCD:

I've used Lastpass for over a year now (with a few optional security features switched on, of course) and even if they were hacked, my data only exists as crypted nonsense....heck, guys would have to invade my home to even try to get the keys they would need to make sense of stolen Lastpass server data. I trust LastPass because they understand data security, at least when storing customer "data/rubbish".

Gauth is also handy on sites which are alows it. How about geting Gauth for bitcointalk?

I just wanted to add , 1Password.

I just use it on my iphone.

Me neither, but someting we must look into deeply.

A lot of this is common sense, but thank you for reminding us again to use it.

A question though,  how bad ARE the coin thieves out there.     Yes I know it can happen to anyone but is it like a major tidal wave going with people trying to steal them or is this more of a general caution topic?

Thank you
Aaron

I personally don't like LastPass but that's because i've had bad issues with it such as it screwing up when i had the drive itself fully encrypted via TrueCrypt.

I use KeePassX on my OSX machine, my android phone and my Linux machines, all synced with dropbox.  Works great, and is very secure.  Just don't forget to lock it if you walk away in public!
