Facing the pain of passwords | Security - CNET News
Passwords are like the common cold: they induce headaches, no one is immune, and there is no cure in sight. But they are necessary in this era of digital data, where everything from paying bills to passing notes to sharing photos is done online through user accounts that require some proof that you really are who you say you are. The need for passwords to be both easy to remember and difficult to guess poses what we all know as the password problem.
What is KeePass? Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your website's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless.

If you give your password to anyone, you are giving them significant power while keeping all the responsibility for their wielding it. There are always better and safer ways of doing anything legitimate than giving away your password.
