Re: How to organize passwords?

This is very easy to crack!

1. You write a script that searches for the files that have "PK" as the first two characters of the file content.
2. Ignore all that have en extension of .zip
3. Rename remaining files to have extensions of .zip
4. Uncompress them with WinZip
5. Read all files.

Good Luck.
