Therefore I'm more looking for a convenient online solution that still offers some safety due to two-factor authentication for example.
trendspotter | 12 years ago | on: Ask HN: Saving passwords: Best (safest) place to store them online?
But is there a password service which is working similar to Evernote, but which is safer? I want to make secure notes of passwords in Evernote style.
And Wade Roush of Xconomy has made a interesting quick overview, he listed also Clipperz (you can pay with Bitcoin), PasswordBox and PasswordGenie:

Finally here is a interesting aspect which I just found here in the comments of a Dashlane review: Quote: "David Pogue (NYT) raved about Dashlane, too, so I took the plunge. Immediate problem was that my login information wound up permanently entered in one of my credit card sites; it was an auto-login I could not disable. So if someone DID steal my laptop, it would be a happy time for him. Trashing Dashlane had no effect; I had to do a force quit of the Dashlane agent using Activity Monitor, then trash it and other attendant files. So many of these password managers, including the incredibly wonderful 1Password that everyone swoons over, imbed themselves so deeply into browsers and other functions that I don't trust them. I will stick with Password Wallet, which sits isolated off to the side and doesn't try to do too much. I understand it and am less likely to make mistakes."

trendspotter | 12 years ago | on: Dear Startups: stop asking me math puzzles to figure out if I can code
Stop asking this fine young lady math puzzles to determine her programming abilities. She is good at solving your seemingly pointless math puzzle, because she was practicing problem-solving since she was ten. But she is not anywhere near as good at programming, yet - which caused her problems at the actual jobs she had to do after she was hired.
trendspotter | 12 years ago | on: Why we revert to original titles
That's up to the admins to decide what needs more often to be managed, the submission or the discussion. Or it could be named:
flag title | flag submission/discussiontrendspotter | 12 years ago | on: Why we revert to original titles
My idea: Have the system automatically populate the title, but allow it to be overridden by the community. Only community members with over 1K kudos can change the title. As soon as a second member (with over 1K kudos) wants to re-edit the title again, the title will automatically get locked to prevent back and forth edit-wars. Only mods and admins can then finalize title.

There just need to be enough watchdogs.
A very simple solution would be that titles can be flagged by the community. Example below:
submission X by kdzsb 22 minutes ago | flag title | flag discussion | 9 comments
Moderators would simply edit flagged bad titles. Rather than having them to watch all titles (old rules) or no titles at all (new rules).trendspotter | 12 years ago | on: Why we revert to original titles

After thinking about it, here is a even better solution:Let titles allow to be flagged by the community. Example below:
submission X by kdzsb 22 minutes ago | flag title | flag discussion | 9 comments

There are a lot of times websites that are not optimized and use titles that sometimes are as self-explanatory as "home". I have discovered news websites that don't have a title for each of their articles, even larger sites like pehub.com didn't have titles until they fixed it only some weeks ago.
So this is going to be more horrible than editorialized headlines.
After thinking about it, here is a easy solution:
In addition to discussions, allow titles to be flagged by the community. Example below:
submission X by kdzsb 22 minutes ago | flag title | flag discussion | 9 comments
Moderators would simply edit the few flagged bad titles. Rather than having them to watch all titles (old rules) or no titles at all (new rules).trendspotter | 12 years ago | on: LinkedIn's Series B Pitch to Greylock: Pitch Advice for Entrepreneurs

trendspotter | 12 years ago | on: The Full Story of Nokia and Microsoft (longread)
"Elop killed Nokia twice: First by announcing the move to Windows Phone 9 months before they could deliver, and again by announcing that no more MeeGo phones would be produced the day after the first MeeGo phone was released to extremely positive reviews.
Microsoft's phone ambitions are similarly doomed because buying Skype caused most if not all of the global carriers to despise Microsoft, and by association Nokia. This will only get worse as time goes on, since Microsoft/Nokia just became Microsoft and any residual good will from Nokia is gone. Without carrier support, Microsoft can't succeed in those markets."
