You have a main password and a 2nd that is generated every month. You use your phone to generate the 2nd.
If you use a new computer you need to generate a 2nd pw. So it doesn't matter if someone gets your main password. As soon as they try to sign in on a different computer they are shut down.
I'm trying out a combination of Dropbox and Keepass for keeping my passwords in. That way I can use the password generation routines in Keepass, and have different passwords for everything.
I know it's possibly a bit silly to put the Keepass file in Dropbox, but the password on the Keepass file would be a right bugger to break, and my Dropbox password is pretty good, too.
Once you get stuff set up it's not bad. And way safer. Here is a shot of their page about it.
you go to www.google.com/accounts to set it up - that's where you'd do it if you can get it.
Hmm - I use one strong password for sites/things that are anything to do with money stuff, because I am incapable of remembering more than one strong password :$
I would like an app on my laptop, PC and Android that would let me easily store and sync (and generate new ones when registering for sites) passwords. That would be good. Does keypass do this?
