Dirty Dancing + Girl Scouts

That montage gets a thumbs-up from me because Dirty Dancing was filmed at my Girl Scout camp, Camp Occoneechee:

1Password equivalent on PC?

Can anyone recommend a program similar to 1Password for the PC? Most of the apps I’ve seen don’t look that great and/or seem to be bloated with a lot of other features I don’t need. 1Password looks great, but I don’t have a Mac.

KeePass or PINS

Never used 1Password, so I can’t comment on how similar they are, but I used to use PINS on the PC, and it was a very simple but utilitarian password storage program. Just upgraded to KeePass and it seems to be even better. Good organization, lots of hotkeys for copying and pasting (most of which I haven’t learned yet), and even has a colored “password strength meter” which I assume is similar to the one in 1password that Merlin is so fond of.

Oh, and both programs are free.

good deal right now on 1Password

1Password is great! And I just got it in an awesome bundle through Mac Heist. Includes a bunch of productivity apps.
