(Archived) Replacement for eWallet?

[garnold 0]

I've used eWallet for years but it does not sync that well with the iPhone and I also have a Droid which there is no version for. Since Evernote seems to work on just about everything and is a great app for notes I thought it might be good for other stuff.

You would want to make sure you encrypted any sensitive text. It would probably be good to search the board on the word encryption & read those threads.

Very good point, thanks!

I use Evernote to store my logins & registration information. Encrypted, of course.

So how do you handle that? Do you just have one note called "Passwords" and it is just a long list of stuff or do you have a different note for each item? Did you build a special template to make this easier? I'm really interested because I think Evernote might be a better way to go for me.

I copy and paste whatever info is provided on-screen. Sometimes need to type it myself, of course. I make sure the 1st line is descriptive so it serves as the note title too.

I leave the user name as-is, encrypt the password.

I tag it "login" because that's faster to search/type than "registration"

I do this for bank login, software keys, forum logins, etc. etc. Used to put them in their own notebook but like almost everyone; the longer you use Evernote, the more you tag and the less notebooks you have

So today if I would need to login here I'd type: evernote tag:login -- double click the encrypted part and away I go.

So that means you have a separate note for each item you want to keep track of correct? I like your searching idea, very smart.

I love Evernote. But for remembering passwords and autofill I use LastPass. It is free too.

That was going to be my suggestion too.

Agreed. And depending upon the situation, I may not even tag the notes b/c the search is so good. I archive all my old emails & rarely tag them. I do have a separate notebook for work emails. But all the others go into one notebook. If I'm looking for a particular email from someone, I just go to the notebook (or search all & use the word 'subject' as a search term b/c the word 'subject' is in every archived email) and type in the person's name (if it's fairly uncommon & is in the email) or a unique part of their email address. Any additional words they may have used in the email that I can remember help refine that search even more. I just glanced at my "Miscellaneous" notebook. It has 695 notes in it & about half have no tags at all. I have another notebook for tips, notations & settings for taking footage from our camcorder, editing & rendering the footage, authoring the DVD (creating the menus, skips, chapters, etc) & then burning it all to a DVD. 72 notes in that notebook & none of them have tags assigned. (But then I am very good at making descriptive titles & adding in keywords.) Alternatively, I could create a tag with the same name as the notebook, assign that tag to the notes, move them into the miscellaneous notebook & delete the camcorder tips notebook.

True. I tag on the principal that it's easier to remove tags from hundreds of notes than add them down the line

Also true. I end up looking at the tag list & finding tags with one or two notes assigned. Most of those end up really not needing the tags, so they get removed.
