1Password away from home for my non-geeky wife

1pwNoob

For my first post, let me just say 1PW has changed my life. It's nice to have software that reduces headaches instead of causing them for once. <img src='http://forum.agile.ws/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/skype_smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':-)' /> I've been spreading the word to friends and co-workers and my most recent target has been my poor wife. Unlike the rest of us, she doesn't have a smart phone. What options does she have when she travels to take her passwords with her? Can she use a USB stick? Just weighing my options before I buy it for her too.



Thanks in advance!

That's a great help file, thanks for the reply! She doesn't travel with a computer, so the USB keychain should work. It will just be on her parents Windows computer if she needs to access her data, so public computers will not be used.
