Password Keeper for Palm AND Windows?
Hello!
I've searched the Travel Tech forum with no success for the answer to my need: Does anyone know of password keeper software for the Palm operating system that also has a Windows user interface?
For the PocketPC OS there is a product named FlexWallet that has the features I need (sold by TwoPeaks.com ). You can enter and edit all your passwords on both your desktop machine and/or your PocketPC, and when you synchronize the PDA all the data in FlexWallet is synch'ed also. The important feature, to me, is that you have full access to your data on the desktop machine as well as on the PDA. I find it a lot easier to type on a keyboard than to scratch on a PDA.
Now I'm looking for password keeper to work on a wife's Palm and her home PC, with comparable user interfaces on both. Suggestions?

A great tip! Thank you!
I tried Roboform in the past. Its insistence on filling in web forms automatically was very irritating, so I junked it. Recently I did see that Fred Langa recommended it, and I trust his opinions a lot, so I was about to try it again in conjunction with my web browser.
What I didn't realize was that Roboform has this other use of keeping passwords and other data. Evidently it works with Windows, Palm and even PocketPC.
And the $0.00 price is right, also

While Roboform for the desktop is free for up to 10 (used to be 30) passwords, when you download the Palm version it says that its price is $9.99 and that the price of Roboform is $29.99 (with no mention of the free option). You get a 30 trial before the software asks for payment, so I won't know the actual cost ($10 or $40) for awhile.

Turbo Passwords for the PC. Ironically, this comes from Chapura, best known for their Palm software, but I don't believe there is a Palm version.

Another Vote For Turbo
I got this expressly for the ability to manage the list on the PC as well as the Palm. It was just a royal pain having to type everything in on the little kb when I could do it much more efficiently on the PC. Plus, since most of the accounts I was managing were via the PC, it was much easier to be able to cut and paste account #s and such from the original browser window into the record in Turbo.

This was my obsession for a month
I tried about a dozen options. Some were too complicated, too simple, too geeky, or just Palm or just PC.
I've been resting easy since I decided on SplashID over a year ago.
All my info in just two specific places: PC and Palm. easy to get to, easy to manage. Life is good.
