User based security issue within Google Calendar
Nothing is secure when it comes to passwords. That's why you have to ensure you do not store passwords online or on any device or service that can be hacked, is in beta or testing modes, and especially in public documents.Chris Pirillo points to a little issue that was found lately concerning Google Calendars. It seems that some people might be setting reminders for themselves in Google Calendars, while entering in login and password information in the reminders. Ok, that's not the worst part, calendars from these individuals are set to public viewing.
The best place to store your passwords is in your head. Second best is on a little piece of paper that is securely hidden and would not mean anything to any person that might happen to find it. Security first online!

Actually, I think the second best place for your passwords is in a database from a program like KeePass setup on a USB drive so it can be used over multiple machines.

Wow, this is actually the most stupid thing I've ever heard. Storing your passwords in a public calendar-software? How can anyone do this?
I store all my passwords I don't know on an USB stick. Works fine for me.

they do it because they don't realize they have it set to public.

The only people that have access to my calendar already would a.) know what I'm doing at a given time anyway, and b.) could probably guess the couple of phrases that I use my password anyhow.
