[gui-talk] password manager accessibility with screen readers

I think there are some password managers that are accessible.  But I would 
also argue that braille on paper or cards is a good way to store passwords. 
An official from Microsoft, a couple of years ago, stated that, given all 
the alternatives, writing down passwords was probably not such a bad system 
after all.  Of course you don't want them in plain sight.  And with all the 
different braille codes in existence, you can store things in a way that 
only you can interpret.

Sure, I can do that, but I currently do not have a notetaker and I don't
want to run the risk of getting my passwords exposed in either malicious or
accidental way from even keeping them on a flash drive. Plus, not a lot of
people these days use handwriting as a viable means to keep confidential
information anymore like contacts, passwords or things that nature, so don't
tell me to use a brailler and braille the passwords out or with a
slate-and-stylus. The technology is there, and it shall be taken advantage
of, from both a blind and sighted user's perspective. (smiling grin).

Why not use your note-taker and keep passwords in a flat file?

Hello all,



I'm your friend Humberto with a question here.

I'm trying to download a password manager for windows for my computer so
that I can keep all my passwords in one place without having to type /
remember every single one of them.

Does anyone know if there is any good password manager for windows that is
accessible with JAWS? Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

Humberto
