iForgotMyPassword: Online Locker For Text

]]> IForgotMyPassword is an online locker for text details. The basic idea behind the site is to provide you with a way to access frequently needed details from any computer with internet connection.

iForgotMyPassword - Online Locker For Your Password

While it might not be the best site for keeping important details such as user info to your email or bank account there are plently of not so important stuff that can be kept online. You may also use it to store only the passwords and keep places they belong to discreet. But even then I wouldn’t risk putting stuff like the pass to your email account there, unless you of course come up with a way to change it a bit (like typing it backwards and adding couple of letters to back and front).

Features:

  • Store text data online and access it from any other PC.
  • Store as much stuff as you like.
  • Includes online password generator.
  • Other password managers: Keepass, LockCrypt, Clipperz and PassPack.
