As an added bonus, they pass the first test for credibility in that they don’t send your password over email. [...] [...] Buxr’s main draw is its method of building a community in a number of ways.

I keep meaning to try out and review PassPack. Maybe I'll get on it and actually start being more responsible with my passwords. Say hi to Tara. Thanks for the tip, Louise.

This is a question which I often ask myself. Why do I receive new/reset/ forgotten passwords by e-mail? And I think this is why people often confuse certain accounts with being ‘safe enough to store sensitive info’. Considering it may be a bit difficult to get all the big guys to change their ways, we may have to work from the bottom up. Basically, when you get your password via e-mail, change it immediately in a safe place such as a password manager (PassPack) that generates strong and unique passwords, encrypts and then stores them in such a way that only you have access to them: http://tinyurl.com/2rtbzw And keep in mind that re-using passwords is never a good idea.
