I'm personally using KeySafe[1] (yes, shameless plug and yes I have a Debian package). Whether web-based is insecure or not depends very much on how the system is designed. Personally I consider storing a password encrypted by a master password on a server is secure enough as long as the master password never leaves my machine (which means encryption and decryption must happen locally). Implementing a pure JavaScript client would then allow me to access passwords in a browser anywhere in the world. At least if I trust the browser enough :-) /M [1]: http://therning.org/magnus/computer/keysafe -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://therning.org/magnus
