A Security Device to Protect You from Yourself...And Everyone Else
The Internet certainly isn't a safe place - even with the increasingly planned environment the average user sees online, identity theft is now a big enough concern that credit card companies are busily selling prevention insurance. Part of the problem, of course, is the security measures we have in place already: how is anyone supposed to remember the 10,000 user names and passwords they have for their work computer, email, bank account, credit card account, favorite retailer, eBay account...the list goes on and on.

Computer securitylinks company Guard ID Systems has a possible solution: instead of trusting your security to a repeated set of user names and passwords, why not spend $50 and get a USB key that does the same thing for you? The product information for the ID Vault lays the security stuff on pretty thick, but basically the key stores all of your financial username and password info, allowing you to retrieve anything you need with a simple pin number. The software that comes with the key apparently works the same way as the password-storing feature in both Internet Explorer and Firefox; enter a username and password on a page (any page - it'll store email passwords, too) and the software will ask if you want to store it for later use.
