Sxipper: Passwords Made Easy

In light of Read/WriteWeb putting the spotlight on Canada’s leading Web 2.0 services, here’s the official launch of my exploration of each one of the list. Today’s subject is Vancouver-based Sxipper, which

provides a Firefox extension to manage your passwords - and everyone’s got dozens of passwords these days if you’re into the whole Web 2.0 ecosystem.

The nice thing is Sxipper is free, although there is a paid, premium version on the way. With a single click, Sxipper promises to securely log you in using a username or authentication mechanism such as Open ID.

As a long-time Roboform user until I switched to a Mac (Roboform doesn’t make a Mac version for some bizarre reason) and a recent user of 1Psswrd, I’m always on the look out for a kick-ass password manager. I’ll check out Sxipper this week, and update the post.
