Jeff S Posted November 7, 2013 Share #2 Posted November 7, 2013 They also compromised credit card info for many; letters were issued to potentially affected parties. Adobe is a continual target for cyber theft. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted November 7, 2013 Share #3 Posted November 7, 2013 Yup, Adobe did a disservice to most if not all their customers. Question: Which password management software do you rely on? And why? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 7, 2013 Share #4 Posted November 7, 2013 Question: Which password management software do you rely on? And why?Thanks. I only have iOS and OSX devices, so I use the new server based password system that Apple introduced in Mavericks and iOS 7. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pop Posted November 7, 2013 Share #6 Posted November 7, 2013 Yup, Adobe did a disservice to most if not all their customers.Question: Which password management software do you rely on? And why?Thanks. I do not trust password managers which are integrated into the OS as I can't even begin to suspect the number and kinds of interfaces there might be. Also, I'm bound to change OSes from time to time and I don't want to re-learn the art of managing password every time I do so.I use KeePass (or KeePassX, as it is sometimes called). It's reasonably simple to use, can manage different password "databases" within the same computer, is available for all environments I'm likely to use. The encryption used for the "database" is reasonably secure. As I don't grow any younger I have started sending copies of that "database" to my son. It also contains "passwords" for "accounts" which don't live in the computer, such as the PINs for my various phones and tablets and such. The encryption is strong enough for it to be sent by mail.
