It's Nantwich (one day) Show today (:-)
Always wet --- as the radar thingy currently shows!

netweather.tv also has an excellent jet stream forecast page that is very useful for forward planning (for all sorts of things). I tried posting it but accidently did so twice somehow and it has been removed. Maybe they thought it was a spam posting; I am just new to this. Ray

Cosmo do you mean this one?

Not quite fitting the bill, but LastPass could to some extent be your
friend. It is more suitable for sites that you log in at rather than
general favourites. I can usually find the site, but not the username
and password. I'm not prepared to have the same pword for every site or
postit notes on the screen - some of the only options for those of us
with colanders in the pan.

It is great for this (and does a lot of other stuff too, such as form
filling, secure poassword generation etc.). It remembers the url, the
user name and the pword - securely, in all main browsers and across
platforms and machines. It can remove all the insecure pwords that the
browser holds.

I'd recommend it thoroughly. I've investigated it a fair bit - and have
used it for a couple of years and my logins have never been so secure.
And I'm happy that the cloud based vault is secure enough for me. Those
not prepared to trust the cloud with data at all may vary in that view...

I prefer not to have a single-point-of-attack/failure. Who knows
- whether the company is legit (or the company to which the
company is sold in 5 years time)

- whether it (or servers or operators for cloud services)
has any weaknesses that can be exploited by blackhats

- whether using it would cause liability problems, e.g. it gives a
financial company plausible deniability when your account
is emptied, "broke Ts&Cs by writing it down and/or not keeping
it secure" or similar weasel words

Summary: how do you *know for sure* that your logins are secure?!
At least "my way" I can understand and contain the issues - even
though they may be less secure in some senses.

Its a case of balancing the risks/threats and the convenience. Saving
user details in a browser is not secure (notthat I'm implying this is
your method). Using non-complex passwords is not secure. Running the
risk that a company will become so compromised (either internally or
externally) is potentially a risk - but the one I prefer to take. After
all, its business depends on being seen to be secure.

A certain amount of 'due digience' can be sufficient to let me decide
what I'm prepared to believe/trust. As I said, I'm sure it is
different for others. However, in the case of this company/product, I'm
sufficently happy with it that our organisation has chosen to use its
enterprise version - and that wasn't a decision made lightly.

However, they don't provide any gardening related services, so although
most of this thread is not very gardeing related, I'll leave it there.
