How do you store your passwords?
-
I have seen many solutions and tried most of them. But when serving multiple companies the amount of passwords one has gets astounding. It is hard to find a way to securely store them, but also have the convienence of looking them up.
What solutions do you recommend?
-
Yes, you can add tags like I do to sort out business vs personal ones!

Since LastPass (www.LastPass.com) acquired XMarks, I've become a raving fan of LastPass -- it works across multiple computers, on my iPhone and iPad, and helps me to create unique/impossible passwords for all sites. Love it.

I've been using roboform for years... I have at least a hundred passwords sroted, and catorgized by website. I'm not affilitated with them in any way (except being a happy customer). I will say, if you try a free trial, I guarantee you'll love it!
They just came out with a subscription model ($10/ year) that allows you to use your logins on any computer/ device.
PS. I also buy it for some of my customers, to make my job easier

I use clipperz.com. It also does one-click logins!

Looks like it checks out, does it have the ability to organize passwords by company or profile?
-
I know that it can sound weird, but when it comes to passwords I usually use a combination of domain name + a alfanumeric code of 6 caracters that - like the numbers code in Lost - I remember since sooo many years.

I absolutely adore 1Password (http://agilewebsolutions.com/onepassword), which has been a long-time Mac utility, but they recently released a Windows version. Not only do I store all my usernames and passwords in 1Password, I also use it for software license keys, rewards membership programs, and more.
They also support the iPhone and iPad, which makes all of this information availability on the go.

Hi Spencer:
I use an open source product calledKeePass. It's a tiny program that resides on my flash drive. Very easy to use, and access can be password protected or you can use a physical "key" that resides on the flash drive itself (my choice as the drive never leaves my desk.
I can't imagine going back to the piece of paper method and having to manually type the characters in now. I just copy and paste and in seconds I'm in.

I know its a very lo-fi solution, but I use a black moleskine notebook (pacman edition to be more precise) I carry around all the time.

New Magento store, is better to place it in a new url or it can work fine in a subdomain?
Hi friends, We are working on a new Magento store for one of our websites. Our strategy is for organic positioning of the products, so we need to understand if the Magento products will position better if the system is hosted in a subdomain of the main company domain or if it is better to host it under its own domain. Thanks,

Wordpress SEO for ecommerce store
I have been working on a wordpress ecommerce website and want to check that I am doing something correctly so hope someone can help. The Wordpress theme did not allow for an introductory content so the developer built a content page Instead to work as a front end category page so there was more flexibility. I have set the product categories to follow- no index and set the content page as the canonical version and optimised the content page.. question is - is that the right thing to do?

URL Path to Store Article Library for SEO
What is the best URL structure for a domain to start adding a main directory for educational articles under? We want to find the best URL structure to keep articles under as a main, then category, then subcategory: For example, if my client is going after TWO SPECIFIC KEYWORD PHRASES as their primary (let's say they are KIDNEY DIALYSIS and CKD DIALYSIS, should they start building up their article library (for educational purposes as well as ranking/SEO), should they list it under which structure for the best SEO ranking opportunities: domain.com/KIDNEY-DIALYSIS/article1, article2, article3 domain.com/CKD-DIALYSIS/article1, article2, article3 domain.com/ARTICLES/article1, article2, article3 Both KIDNEY DIALYSIS and CKD DIALYSIS are critical phrases for them. Is it a waste of URL space to just have a home of domain.com/ARTICLES then build off that URL structure like: domain.com/articles/kidney-dialysis domain.com/articles/ckd-dialysis Thoughts? Ideas? Thank you!

Scraping a Password Protected Page
Hey Everyone, I'm looking for some help regarding my website. I have multiple pages on my site that are password protected (we only give the password to potential clients).... Somehow, when doing a google search, i found a directory that has successfully scraped and pulled all of the information from the password protected pages and is displaying this info on their site... This is very bad for us as obviously this information is critical and not intended to be shared with the rest of the world Does anyone have any advice on how to prevent my password protected pages from being scraped/crawled? Thanks!

Where does Wordpress store the 301 redirects?
Hi, I've just created a campaign for my new wordpress blog and found 11 301 redirects which I was not aware of. It looks like wordpress has created them automatically. Does any one know how wordpress handles this issues or where are they stored so I can delete them? They are of no use for me. 9 of these redirects point to the same url with an added '/' and are in pages 1 is on a post. I've been changing the permalink and some urls several times and maybe one of these times the Wordpress has automatically created the 301 redirect. But why? I do not want to keep the old url. the last redirect is very strange it goes from http://www.mydomain.com/folder to http://www.mydomain.com where folder is the folder where I installed wordpress. But again, I want no one to type the url with the folder name or even know this folder exists. Any comment on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, David

Will password protecting my test sub-domain help keep the SEs from indexing it?
Hi, all. I'm working in an unfamiliar area here, so I hope someone can tell me if I'm out in left field. I am building a sub-domain called http://test.mysite.com, so that I can upload a client's still-under-construction site while working on it. When completed, it'll go up on his server, replacing his old site. Obviously, I want to ensure that it doesn't get indexed while it's on my test platform. A friend suggested that I password it with htaccess and htpasswd, since we can never be certain the SEs will obey site directives. My question is, what do you think would be the best (and hopefully, simplest) way to accomplish this? I'm no code-monkey, so "simple" is a big plus! Doc By the way, the platform will be Wordpress CMS.
