4. Are you concerned about them losing your passwords or stealing your passwords?

If you are worried about losing them, get an external drive as big or bigger than your internal drive. Get a copy of CarbonCopyCloner and clone your drive to the external drive. You will not be safe even in the event of a hard drive replacement (not at ll likely, based on your description of your problems).

If you are worried about stealing your passwords, don't. They handle lots of machines every day and see lots of hard drive contents. The chance of a) there being a larcenous "Genius" who b) decides to be larcenous on *your* machine, and who c) manages to pull it off with you there watching the screen as he does what he does, and d) none of the other "geniuses" seeing it and reporting him to the Head "Genius" seems pretty slim.

Here is the link cor CarbonCopyCloner: http://www.bombich.com

I use it for daily back-ups and think it is very good.
