Posted by Joel 24 August, 2008 (5) Comment

My dreams of having an online password repository has become true. This is one of the best password solutions offered so far, and its fabulous. Say you have multiple computers and lots of passwords?. how will you remember and keep track of them?

Simple create a LastPass account and go on adding you sites. This is very useful and very secure because LastPass only stores the encrypted version of your passwords online. The real saved passwords are safe in your computer away from any online hackers and even in your PC they are saved on encrypted form. This is the best password syncing solution ever provided. Let?s hope everybody appreciates how good it is without being cynical.

This is actually an inspired password storage and syncing solution similar to Foxmarks bookmarks synchronizer.

While installing, the software seamlessly imports Firefox and Internet Explorer?s password list and syncs it with their server.

Here are some screenshots please do try it out and let me have your feedback. I?m completely sold. I switched to it fully today and enjoying every moment of my browsing. Best of all LastPass is totally FREE!

Posted by Joel 13 August, 2008 (22) Comment

Have you ever wondered why does not Firefox prompt you to save passwords, for the above mentioned sites? Well the fact of the matter is that they tell Firefox not to, due to security issues. If you are a user and have multiple accounts with yahoo or with any of the above mentioned sites, and you browse them from your home, this is for you. If you are checking your mail from work please stop reading now because if you enable this in your office computer others might get into your mail account.

Considering this event in mind, and to increase your privacy, some sites, including many banks and a few other sites such as Yahoo Mail and Microsoft Passport, tell browsers not to remember passwords for visitors using autocomplete=?off?. This bookmarklet makes the browser ignore autocomplete=?off? temporarily, allowing you to save passwords even on sites that use autocomplete=?off?.

So here is how to make Firefox remember passwords for sites like yahoo, flickr, MSN, Live etc.

Messenger Fraud : Be Careful

Posted by Joel 15 March, 2008 (4) Comment

ScanMessenger is back again in the form of messengerlisting.com, as lot of blogs mentioned long ago scanmessenger is a site that tricks user into thinking that they can log in and find who is using windows live messenger and who has blocked them, unfortunately this is the real truth…

ScanMessenger is a total lie and a scam. It should be called ScamMessenger. They steal your username, password and all your contacts.

and they use this username and password to send your contacts a message saying:

http://www.ScanMessenger.com <- Find out who deleted you from the MSN without noticing it”

Be careful not to fall for these little scams and tricks, if you have already given your credentials or previously used services of this kind, I advice you to immediately change the password for security reasons.
