Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / April 2007Internet passwords
With Firefox, I save password clues within my bookmarks folder. My wife is using Safari, and when she complained about losing a password for a site, I tried to put a password in a bookmark, but at least the default fields don't include a place for comments. Is there a way to add a comment field to Safari bookmarks? If not, how do Safari users keep track of Internet passwords? > Is there a way to add a comment field to Safari bookmarks? > > If not, how do Safari users keep track of Internet passwords? I don't know if there is or not but you might be interested in URL Manager Pro. <http://www.url-manager.com/> This s a really comprehensive bookmark management system which includes comment fields.

Sadly, Alco seems to have stopped development on this project due to a significant long-term illness. I got so used to it's features over the years that I had to really scramble to find a replacement. I use Bookit now: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11493 But I continue to use Alco's Web Confidential just for passwords, serial #, various accounts, etc.: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10237 But there are others that do the same thing (e.g. SecretBook) http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27968 I sincerely hope that Alco Bloom makes a full recovery because URL Manager is getting rather long in the tooth. I really like it's integration with Web Confidential but have found BookIt to "just work". SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO!

The actual passwords are maintained in the user's keychain.

Safari stores passwords in the keychain, so I guess you could use the keychain manager to keep track of things. There is something called a "secure note" in the keychain.

In Safari, go to Preferences and select AutoFill. Make sure there is a check placed next to User names and passwords. This way, Safari will keep track of your passwords, and automatically fill them in at the appropriate web site. Passwords are stored in Mac OS X's Keychain. >In Safari, go to Preferences and select AutoFill. Make sure there is a >check placed next to User names and passwords.

My goal is to have a bookmark file that is transferable from computer to computer with password hints. I suspect that this might not do it though. > >In Safari, go to Preferences and select AutoFill.

SignatureBarry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** I have a small program, PASTOR, that keeps a database of all my passwords behind a password field-its encrypted-it fits on a flash drive. I use this like a keycard, works in any macand gives me access to all my pswd's only problem is that i do need to keep it up to date--i have 70+ passwords \Mike > With Firefox, I save password clues within my bookmarks folder. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > If not, how do Safari users keep track of Internet passwords? > If not, how do Safari users keep track of Internet passwords? I use a small address book and enter the name of the site, the user name I use for the site, the email address I use, and a hint about which of the several passwords I use, for that particular site. It works well for me.
