Passwords, passwords, passwords – Aaargh!!!!
July 22, 2006 by rockportrait
In todays’ digital, security-conscious world, there is so much information to remember.
Once upon a time it was only your bank ATM PIN. Now every web site you are interested in requires you to register, and your Internet Banking login details are impossible to remember.Then you have everything else that matters like insurance, drivers licence, birthdays, combinations, email accounts, memberships, emergency info. The list just goes on and on!!!So what gadget do I use to solve this problem, you ask?
I use SplashID for the Palm OS on my Treo 650.
Of course, you are unlikely to have a Treo, as Australia hasn’t yet caught on to this best-of-breed convergence device. But don’t despair – SplashID has a version to suit PocketPC, Windows Mobile Smartphone, Symbian (sony Ericsson), Series 60 (Nokia) and the Blackberry, so you should be covered.Now there are plenty of alternatives to SplashID out there. However every one I have trialled has been buggy, awkward or unattractive. I just keep coming back to this.
SplashID comes with a Windows desktop to make it easier for data entry, and you can even just buy the desktop, so that’s pretty cool if you haven’t jumped on the phone/PDA convergence bandwagon yet.
SplashID is probably the most important tool I have on my Treo, and is always be the very first installation I run whenever I upgrade.
Trial before you buy at the SplashData downloads page.
I think you’ll find yourself “splashing” out USD$30 in no time at all.

I use eWallet (http://www.iliumsoft.com/site/ew/ewallet.htm) for pocket PC. Haven’t gotten a Treo, but eWallet works on Palm, PocketPC and Windows SmartPhone. And it syncs with your desktop PC so you always have a backup.
Hi Karen
I trialled eWallet for Palm and found it buggy so went back to SplashID. But others I know swear by it for Palm. Perhaps it is not totally compatible with the Treo.
SplashID also syncs with your desktop.
