This video is very funny and makes an important point.



Based on all the past problems Sony has faced with hackers and the fact that Sony did not do a good job of protecting passwords.  Furthermore with the general public concerned about the US government spying on citizens I thought it would be important to explain why everyone should be using on 
Online Password Manager for business, personal, SEO and marketing.

There are several good products on the market:

1.  OnlinePasswordManager.com 
     - free license information and plugin for Google Chrome

2.  Lastpass

3.  1Password



The following is a good article to read and I have included some excerpts below.

"If the government orders you to turn over someone's passwords, is it possible?"
First up is Agilebits, with 1Password being their version of online password manager. I asked Jeff Goldberg, Agilebits Chief Defender Against the Dark Arts (great title) "The Question." His response:
"We never have the opportunity to see either your data or your master password. In fact, we don't even have the chance to see how or whether you even use 1Password. So the short answer to your question is, no, it is not possible for us to obtain your password database, nor it is possible for us to decrypt it even if we did manage to get hold of it."
LastPass
Next up is LastPass, a popular online password manager. Erin Styles, Vice President of Marketing answered "The Question," and included a comment from LastPass CEO Joe Siegrist:
"In Joe's words, 'We can't give them what we don't have.' So, to answer your question, there is nothing we could do to obtain someone's passwords. If ordered by the government, we would hand over a blob of encrypted data that they could attempt to brute force. As everyone knows, with a strong master password, brute force would be virtually impossible."

The above is also true for OnlinePasswordManager.org
