The joys of using a similar password across all your logins…

Actually it a real pain in the ass. Just put your hand up if you have done the same thing.

Trapster sent out an email that their

The Trapster team has recently learned that our website has been the target of a hacking attempt, and it is possible that your email address and password were compromised,”.

“We have taken, and continue to take, preventative measures to avoid future incidents, but we are recommending that you change your Trapster password”

So the past couple days I’ve changed all the password so all the accounts now have different passwords. Would have been a headache keeping track of them if it wasn’t for 1password.

1password is a password tracker that is available on the mac, pc, iphone and ipad. Using dropbox as the storage location I can keep all my passwords synced across all my devices which is a real bonus.

So no more password hassles.

Fritz box

Today I pre ordered a Fritz box 7390 from Internode. While a bit on the expensive side with a price of $399 I believe it’s worth the price.
The features are a couple pages long but some of the note worthy are ipv6 ready, dual band dual channel WLAN (300 mbit over 2.4 and 5Ghz range), NBN ready, VIOP( acts a Dect base with up to 6 headsets) and VPN. Also it’s supposed to be very stable for long range adsl connections and it comes with a 5 year warranty.
I will post more details when I get it.
