The problem: how to keep track of the dozens of registration codes, passwords, and related data you need to run your digital life. The solution: Steel 1.1.5, a no-nonsense, yet very capable, password-management utility. Steel displays data in a spreadsheet-like format, letting you see many items at once. If you need more assistance, you can use the Find dialog box to zero in on the item you want. You can assign entries to different categories. Each category has specific customizable fields—the e-mail category has fields for POP and SMTP servers, while the credit card category includes a field for the security code. Of course, the Steel database is itself password-protected—so you’ll need to remember at least one password without Steel’s help.
