Anything that's in the "cloud" can be hacked. My advice: unless there

is an essential, functional reason that is much more serious than

personal convenience to put something there, don't. You're only

asking for trouble.

In the case of passwords: Do you really think it's safer to keep your

passwords on somebody's server that is potentially connected to every

person who has access to a computer on the internet, than to just

keep them on a piece of paper folded up in your wallet? Wallets are

"portable" too.

When are people going to stop this magical thinking about computers?
