Preventing the Unthinkable!
Paul Sylvester
Imagine yourself having been using Gmail and you go on lunch. When you get back you try to log into your Gmail account, and it is locked? Yesterday Chris Brogan His friend and colleague came back after lunch and his Gmail account was locked out. So I want to talk about some ways to prevent the Unthinkable!
Yes, you too, could be locked out of your Gmail account and have no way to access your web services like friendfeed or other services like that. Unless you have your passwords stored someplace either in Firefox or IE. That is so unsafe, letting Firefox or IE remember you passwords, check out one of my previous post about that!! If you are locked out of your Gmail account and you don't remember the password. What next? Here is what I do.
I use Roboform and back that up nightly to an Amazon E3 Server. I also make copies to a local spare Hard drive. Roboform comes with the best Syncing software and also a very powerful password generator. It encrypts your passwords until you enter your master password.
I was reading Todd Cochranes Article about this. I wanted to make a point on having your password safe and secure and easily accessible!! Todd Cohcrane is right about having a backup plan. I have always said in the past, backing up is very important. Having a local application do your mission critical stuff is important. So check out his article and check out Roboform.
