Hi ET, Interesting thought on the BRL file for storing passwords,
I can honestly say that if you did that and I got hold of the file or a printed list of passwords written in braille I'd still be reading it in 6 months. It's not that I can't read braille but I just don’t' do it enough to remember it as well as I should. I just encrypt my files for those I need to. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of E.T.

I did not see any responses but here is what I see in this. What are the risks with encryption? Forget a password and you are dead in the water? I suppose those of us who can create braille hard copy should be safe. Or even a brf file kept on a braille display. With so many passwords, sometimes I am overwhelmed even with an app like 1Password. From E.T.'s Keyboard...
