Re: OT: LinkedIn Hacked

[Lauren <lauren -at- writeco -dot- net>]

I use an assortment of passwords and email addresses.  For some accounts 
and access, I use a random password generator, but I do have old 
accounts that I set up years ago, like LinkedIn, where I do not always 
remember the email address or password that I used when I set up the 
account.  I finally got back into LinkedIn, but I do not know what 
password I used there.

I have commented on and set up accounts on various sites and I do not 
always remember my old usernames, email addresses, or passwords, but 
that information is stored in the various browsers that I have used with 
the sites.  Is there some sort of application that can safely store all 
of this information without exposing me to security risks?

Also, with the LinkedIn hack, there could be some phishing and spoofing 
later where some people may inadvertently give up an email address and 
password to someone else, and that can open the door to various forms of 
hacking.
