    Passports was more like a single login account for multiple sites... like OpenId is now, only closed source and with very high monetary fees for the websites.

    Tried being the key word :)

    I definitely prefer 1Password. This service just feels odd to me.

    Verisign just launched it's technology to store your passwords and deploy it amongst open id passwords for a one click log-in. tinyCrunch.com covered it.

    Wow I did not expect to see this on Mash able. I met these guys at a security conference in the Bay Area. For those people above who said they might not know passwords, they do. I've seen these guys' resumes and they have history working at security companies like Verisign and dealing with government level security projects. I started using their website after meeting it and I LOVE it. For me, its blends security, aesthetics, and usability into a nice package.

    Don't care about they know about passwords and encrytion... keeping my password within my own head seems to be the most secure way to store them.

    And if that won't do I can always create random passwords to store in my TPM with a fingerprint reader for access :)

    That's seems to be the consensus. Understandable. We'll have to see what comes of these guys, then.

    Great idea - but I don't see how the end-user is protected from (i) either the company knowing your personal password or (ii) from a hack/failure on their servers.

    I'd prefer to try another new social password manager like Lastpass (lastpass.com) that is 100% locally encrypted on the end-user's machine, uses locally created one-way "salted" hash so the company doesn't know/access my password. Plush the social sharing seems to work more intuitively.

    It is a tricky proposition combine social/sharing and security.

    I love the site and use it every day. Once you start using it, you can't live without such a great convenience. It enhances the life style dramatically on the web.

    Here is my strategy of managing my life online secure with Mashed life:

    * Use randome numbers for all my LOW-RISK web accounts (conference, freq flyer, library, social, photo, ...) and store them all in Mash life. If any hackers steal it, no big deal!

    * Keep confidential ones (ebay, amazon, etc) into a HINT stored in mashed life. Yes, I found mash life has a hint feature as well, you can't interpret my hint, hahaha.

    * Keep the very confidential ones (bank, etc) in my HEAD only.

    That's the best practice to keep my life simple and happy!
