[Eug-lug] password managers on USB stick ?

[Ben Barrett]

So they've gotta be close on an OS X version, it has apparently been in the
works for a while.
That would be cool.  Someone reported that it works fine under Parallels on
OS X, albeit
a bit painful on usability.

BTW, Horst, http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/ is one of the most common
password managers,
to get back to the stated subject.

ciao,

ben
