The amount of saved passwords, website logins, FTP details, SSH details and so-forth is an ever growing collection, as I’m sure is a similar story with many other web developers out there.
I was after a secure way of storing all my FTP details, passwords, etc into one file – one secure location which was quick & easy to access and modify, whilst remaining hidden and relatively secure to the average Joe.
Pastor fit the bill for me, and if you’re running on OS X and have a similar story to tell, I’d recommend you take a look. Does the job, spot-on.
I’ll admit, reviews I’ve read say its not the most secure way of doing this, but its good enough for what I need at least – and best of all its free!

I am just surfing around the net until I stumbled upon your blog. I cant help but admire how it looks and so I had to drop a comment and say how beautiful your blog is. Anyway, I hope it is okay if I am somewhat out of topic

Yeh I heard all about 1Password when I was reading reviews about Pastor. Much better & more secure aparently, but I don’t really like paying for much software!

Wow, thanks! That means a lot, thanks very much.

I get what you mean about paying for software, but I use 1p to store my credit card details and account numbers for utility billing and stuff like that so security is pretty paramount. I don’t mind paying for peace of mind, as they say.

Ah, I think thats fair enough. When your talking about CC numbers & the like, and if you’re hoping to store them on a computer, then paying for a decent bit of software is fair!
