I either downgrade my database to 1.0 (which I don't think I can do) or else I forget running it in that otherwise wonderful PortableApps thingy (and thanks, Ike, for that tip - you are brilliant, as always!). Looks like I'm stuck. Sigh. I've been toying going back to Steganos, anyway, since my laptop is now my main pc and I am increasingly worried that it will be hijacked by rampaging bloggers, or else someone just hoping they can hijack my bank details.

By the way, there is now a KeePass version for the iPhone: ikeepass.de.

The Keeform url has changed. It is apparently now: http://www.aliasbailbonds.com/KeeForm

I appreciate, as always, the wisdom of those far wiser than I - and I'm doubly flattered, Ike, that you still read me! I do indeed use dropbox - I love it. But the portable KeePass - that is a new one on me and I'll check it out. I assume that by some magic jiggery-pokery I will be able to use it on ANY USB stick, yes? Now THAT would be ace! As for the 5gb of mesh - yes, that tops Dropbox's 2gb; but does not the mighty MSoft offer 25gb via it's cloud offering? But then again, it's not easy to sync to that, from memory... But even with KeePass in the cloud and on my various computers AND on my USB stick. as far as I can tell there is no way to export the login data I already have in Norton and import it into KeePass - and I somehow doubt that someone from Norton is going to jump into this conversation and take business away from his employer and give it willingly and freely to an open source app. Sigh. Gentlemen, what suggestions for what next to do? "Suck it up, Princess!", as we say over here? Ah, gentlemen.

And why do you want to use a U3 version? There is portable version of KeePass at portableapps.com. Also: Forget dropbox, just get mesh.live.com (5GB for free including remote desktop capabilities). It is perfect to install your portable keepass on. Peter I think KeePass can do all what you need. And why do you want to use a U3 version? There is portable version of KeePass at portableapps.com.

You have the right idea with KeePass, but you need to put that on the cloud in a secure way. I just sent you an invite to Dropbox, which is a simple utility that shares folders across the web. The beauty of it is that it just plain works. Now -- you're running KeePass on a thumbdrive, right? If you can run it on a thumbdrive, you can run it in a Dropbox folder. Yes, the application. And if you are really hard up, all of your Dropbox data is in the cloud, too. So you log into your Dropbox account, download the folder into the PC you are using, and run it from there. Then delete it if you want.
