Sxipper is a free Firefox (1.5 / 2.0) extension which saves your time by keeping track of all of your login details and other personal data. Sxipper encrypts your data and stores in your computer within your Firefox profile, so you shouldn’t worry much about privacy. Its semantic mapping tool learns from its previous mistakes and keeps improves.

Sxipper is a bit bulky, weight around 2.1 MB. After the install, it lets you choose color and icon for your profile. You can import your v-card or manually fill all your details.

Since it automatically logs you into websites, it can prevent you from leaking your passwords in phising sites. When I first read about Sxipper, it sounded like Roboform (which is partially free). I had been using Roboform since ages, but this one really made me convert.

  1. I will try it out once, but I like to keep the passwords where they belong - in my head.

    I am poor with memory, but there is some sort of mechanism that my brain seems to accomplish so that I do remember all the passwords.

    Sure will check it out though.

  2. I’m old fashion and sticking with my good ol memory

  3. Isn’t inbuild firefox password manager enough?

    Cheers, Rohit

  4. Vyoma, Sujan: I agree with you, but I’m having tons and tons of login details, its quite hard to remember each one of them.

    Rohit: Inbuilt Password Manger isn’t smart enough

  5. What is it lacking? Can you please elaborate?

    Regards, Rohit

  6. Well, I think it depends on people. The way one chooses password, does make a difference. Of course, it is dumb to choose birthdays and pet names as passwords, but you can still go for memorable passwords by using personal password policies.

    Use a theme, and use related phrases - not single words but two or more words - and then according to your policy corrupt some letters in a standard manner.

    I will be changing the theme frequently, but the remaining policy will be same, and that is how I remember the long and complicated passwords I have for tonnes of different websites.

  7. i agree with Vyoma, Sujan and you Thilak.. actually, i dont trust in that programs to be sincere ’cause im quite paranoic in that things and im very good remembering all the passwords. to be more sincere, my fingers know where to press, not me haha
