What is a password safe?
Great question! Ok, so you know how you have a ton of passwords for all sorts of things? Your online bank, your email, your consignment software…all sorts of stuff. Well, where do you keep that info? In your noggin? It’s not scratched down on a loose sheet of paper, is it? 😉
Have you ever forgotten your username or password for something? What about sites or services you don’t use that often, but are important. Take for example your web host where your website is hosted.
What would you do if a disaster came along and you had to log in to these various services on a new system? We talked about Firefox Sync for keeping browser logins and settings stored across multiple computers.
KeePass provides you with a safe to store this sensitive information. You assign one master password and then all of your sensitive login information is stored in KeePass’ encrypted database.
Even neater is, if you use SugarSync or DropBox you can keep your KeePass database in-sync across multiple computers – e.g. your laptop, your desktop, your Android device, etc.

I currently manage hundreds of consignment workstations, point of sale systems, and database servers all across North America and I am the developer of Peeps' Software, Peeps2Go, and Peeps' Consignor Login for iOS and Android. I've been helping consignment & resale store-owners since 2003. I started The Computer Peeps in February of 2010.

After 20 years of working with consignment stores, I understand the unique challenges consignment & resale store-owners face. From electrical issues in old buildings or strip malls, to advocating for them when their old consignment software keeps crashing.
