Save your passwords online?

Wednesday, April 4, 2007

I don’t know about you, but I am not comfortable saving all my passwords on some online site. According to Clipperz, you don’t even need to trust them with your information, because they encrypt everything before storing it on their databases. I don’t know about this.

From Clipperz.com:



Clipperz benefits



  • Free and completely anonymous.

  • Access any time from any computer.

  • No software to download and nothing to install.

  • Avoid keeping secrets on your PC or on paper.


Why you don’t need to trust Clipperz



  • Clipperz let you submit confidential information into your browser, but your secrets are locally encrypted by the browser itself before being uploaded to Clipperz.

  • The key for the encryption process is a passphrase known only to you! Clipperz will not be able to recover a lost passphrase because we don’t know it. Actually we don’t even know the username you have chosen!

  • Clipperz simply hosts your sensitive data in encrypted form and could never actually access the data in its plain form.

  • Your browser is a powerful “number crunching” tool, capable of executing cryptographic algorithms thanks to our Clipperz Crypto Library, a JavaScript collection of cryptographic primitives.

  • Clipperz does not use homemade cryptographic algorithms but implements standard strong encryption schemes. You can review the source code anytime you like, but you need to know nothing about cryptography to be an happy user!

What do you think? Is it safer to save it online rather than saving it on your laptop with a password manager like Roboform?
