Are you in the same class as dinesh1210? He (or she?) asked the same thing just 15 minutes earlier. Well, probably you are the same person, given the similarities in the user names. Never heard of Google?

dinesh1210 got an answer so might want to look at that. He or she didn't vote eventhough it was a correct answer:

Consider a really good alternative: KeePass, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KeePass[^], http://keepass.info/[^]

It comes with full C# source, so you can have your own compilation protected with your own digital signature, to be even safer. Also, you can double-protect your data with both data signature file and master password. This is just one executable file you can carry with you on your flash drive.

The warning poster by Pete O'Hanlon is correct, valid for KeePass as well, of course.

Thank you, Espen.

The marketing blurb for OpenID states

"Can't remember your passwords? Tired of filling out registration forms?
OpenID is a safe, faster, and easier way to log in to web sites."

This reads like it was written by the marketing division of the Syrius Cybernetics Corporation. It basically means that you create your ID in one place, and any site that implements OpenID will authenticate your login against a central location. This, in turn, means that you have less credentials to remember.

The downside, of course, is that a hacked OpenID account means that it's hacked for all sites that implement it, but hey, swings, roundabouts...
