Online security is getting overwhelming and frustrating sometimes. For the last few months I’ve signed up to a couple of forums and blogs to scour information on about everything and it come to a point of having problem remembering what user id and password I’ve used. Aside from that we moved all our bills and credit card payments and banking online so it is frustrating when you forgot you login ID and password. Although you can memorize as many as you can combinations, some online services, specially financial only allows you up to 3 tries lock up you ID if you keep trying with invalid credentials.

One possible solution to this is to use a secure ID storage to track and retrieve those critical piece of information. ID Vault is a USB-based device that includes a SmartCard microcontroller to store sensitive data in encrypted format. It has PIN-based logon access that keeps a collection of secure bookmarks, integrated with your web browser and websites, and sends credentials directly to the site secure logon page. This gadget is good to avoid keyloggers and shoulder/side watchers for the price of $50.
