Top 5 ways to manage your many, many passwords

2. mSecure Password Manager

mSecure
mSecure Password Manager is a secure data management software application that uses high security encryption.

mSecure saves and transmits all user data with 256-bit Blowfish format encryption that can only be accessed with your password. Since mSecure does not save users’ passwords, this means that no one other than the user can access his or her information. The application also has a self-destruction feature so that, in the case of emergency, you can destroy all traces of your passwords on your phone. The drawback to mSecure, as with many of the other password services, is that if you forget your password, getting your data back can be difficult, if not impossible.  

Cost: $9.99 for the Android or iOS applications. $19.99 for the Mac and Windows version. A backup version of mSecure, mBackup, is available for a free download for users that already have mSecure for their smart phone.

Where it works: This app has different versions for both smart phones and desktops.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
