[Disclaimer: I work for AgileBits, makers of 1Password, a password manager and secure wallet.]Remembering passwords is bad for your password healthIt is great that you are considering a password manager. You are now in a fantastic position to have better password hygiene than most folks. As security researcher Troy Hunt says, “The only secure password is the one you can’t remember.”Many folks cling tightly to their desire to use passwords they can remember which actually ends up hurting them from a security perspective. I choose to use a password manager because it offers far better security than using passwords weak enough to remember or — even worse — reusing them.I don't know any of my passwordsThe idea behind a password manager like 1Password is that you only need to remember one Master Password. Then, 1Password securely generates, stores, and fills all your individual passwords for you. You don't have to remember anything as long as you never lose your Master Password. (Keeping a backup copy of it in a second safe location is a great idea. You may want to fill out the entire 1Password Emergency Kit for good measure.)Not all password managers are created equal1Password offers some features and has certain security characteristics that other password managers do not. One may share a few of them, and another may share others, but the specific combination below is not shared with any other password manager. You should, by all means, investigate all your options, but if you wish to “check all of the boxes” below, 1Password may be at the top of your list.1Password is not a service that you connect to or log in to. Instead it works entirely by keeping your data encrypted and stored on your devices. We have none of your data in any form. This has two big benefits:Because we have none of your data we can't lose, use, or abuse it, even if we were (compelled to be) evil.This security architecture means that we don't have an authentication system to defend. Your data is protected through an encryption-only system, without any of the threats that authentication-based systems face.1Password protects your data using a publicly documented format. It's completely buzzword compliant—authenticated encryption: AES-256-CBC and HMAC-SHA256; key derivation: PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA512—but, more importantly, the format used by 1Password is available for scrutiny by you and the security community at large. You have secrets; we don't. Why our data format is public. Of course, I can't think of many better ways to show how well 1Password protects your data than by pitting it against the pre-eminent password cracking tool `hashcat`: Crackers report great news for 1Password 4.1Password is the only password manager that has ever won a design award. As Steve Jobs once said, “People think it's this veneer — that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That's not what we think design is. It's not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” 1Password is an Ars Design Award winner.1Password integrates directly with all major browsers. Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer are supported on the desktop. On iOS, 1Password even fills in Safari and third-party iOS apps that have added support for the 1Password extension. This not only makes your life much simpler but keeps sensitive data off the clipboard. It is filled securely with your explicit approval. On the Mac for example, Command-\ will log you into any website for which you have saved a Login — secure and convenient.1Password syncs with Mac, Windows, iOS, Android. Using strong unique passwords that you can't remember is no good if you don't have access to them.1Password provides an option to use your own, private Wi-Fi network to sync. You can sync without using a cloud service like Dropbox or iCloud. No data leaves your own local network. Again, you're in control of your own data. (You may be detecting a theme here.)1Password does not charge monthly or annual fees. Once you have a Windows license, for example, you can use it on all the PCs you can possibly afford. Likewise for Mac, etc.1Password supports numerous import formats and allows you to export all of your data to standard CSV or our own 1Password Interchange Format at any time. We think you will like 1Password enough that we don't need to artificially lock you in. We want happy users not trapped ones.But before this turns into nothing more than a sales pitch, let me share some tips for evaluating password managers. This will be useful to you even if you don't end up choosing 1Password. You can verify the safety of an application by studying the data that it is (1) reading/writing and (2) sending/receiving. First, let's take a look at the latter.One cannot accidentally share what one doesn't haveThe data that any application sends and receives is pretty easy to monitor. Some applications even provide a guide outlining all of the network activity you can expect from the application. For an app which doesn't require you to sign in to an online service, network activity can be completely optional.In that case, an app that doesn't require a network connection can work entirely by keeping your data encrypted and stored on your devices. If the company making the app has none of your data in any form, you get the two big benefits I mentioned above:If they have none of your data they can't lose, use, or abuse it, even if they were (compelled to be) evil.Such a security architecture can mean that they don't have an authentication system to defend. Your data can be protected through an encryption-only system, without any of the threats that authentication-based systems face.Does the product, service, or app you are evaluating have a copy of your data? Do you need to authenticate to a service in order to access your data? These are some good questions to ask.Now you don't have to actually be concerned about anyone “turning evil” for such a distinction to matter. If someone has the capacity to do damage, they can do it by accident. If someone does not have the capacity to do damage, then they couldn't do it even by accident. No secrets but your own“A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system, except the key, is public knowledge.” — Kerckhoffs's principleThe data an application reads and writes is critical to its function. Is its data format publicly documented? Has it been published to benefit from public expert scrutiny? While an individual may not have the necessary knowledge to parse such a tome, it is important that is available to the security experts who do.If you have access to the design of the data format, you can verify that the app uses well-trusted, standard library implementations of cryptographic functions. Cryptographic experts agree: there is no need to roll our own crypto.What measures does the app take to slow down cracking attempts? Does the developer have a good relationship with the security community? For that matter, how does the cracking community view the app?These are just a few of the sorts of questions you can begin by asking. I hope that helps you make an informed decision. Stay safe out there!

If you don’t have your data available to you, it’s not really helping you be more secure.For this reason, it’s important that you can securely sync your data. A good question to ask is: does the app take precautions to protect your data?Encrypting your data at rest. Is the data always stored encrypted? That way, no matter how you choose to sync, your data can’t be read by anyone on the other end.Encrypting your data during transit. Is your data encrypted while it’s being uploaded or downloaded, so it’s always protected while it travels between devices?Decrypting your data on your device. Is your data only ever decrypted on your device? That way, you’re the only one who can see it.Additionally, are you restricted to just one sync method?

While Venkatesh Rao nails the fact that a foundation of great management is indispensable, and the fact that the nature of the way we work is shifting, "The fact of a team being "distributed" is basically irrelevant" is just plain wrong. I deal with a team of 25+ totally distributed independent contractors day in day out. Yes, the rules of management in many ways are the same. Treat people well. Expect great things from them. Be human. The details though, they make all the difference. Managing the nuances of engagement and productivity with a couple thousand miles between you and your team is both science and art.The ways in which we have to manage accountability, build trust and relationship, establish a work rhythm and synchronicity is a bit different. The penalties for breaking rythm or communication are often more severe as I can easily loose days before noticing. Many of the non-verbal queues to indicate someone is struggling (with work or personal life) are missing requiring me to dig in creative ways.  We had to build additional system to tighten accountability:1) everything has an owner and only one owner to a task. We had consistent problems with people asking questions, and then ignoring the task because "I was waiting for ignacio". Eventually built a cultural pattern (supplemented by changes to our ticketing system). One owner per task through the entire process. Even once it goes to QA, the coder if still the accountable party until the task is released. The ability to assign comments as question in the system and mark them as roadblocks. The question then continually nags the requested user until it has been answered.2) while flextime is a natural part of the space, communication opportunities are required. People can work whenever they want, but each project manager builds in specific regular points of availability for communication (scrums might be enough, but we have found that more has often been necessary for any form of collaboration.We had to find ways to build trust:1) Use social media and internal systems to share our lives, hopes, sillyness and more. Even just taking the time on Im to be ridiculous and have fun (like I just did with the #lessambitiousmovies hashtag meme happening right now with a bunch of peeps on my team).2) Increase predictability and consistency of feedback and behaviors. I constantly look for ways to improve. In that effort, one of our leads confided that he often struggled with designing for one of our pms because he hard a hard time predicting what that pm like and didn't. He was never sure how to define a win. As I dealt with this pm face to face quite often I had never seen the issue, but when I joined some of remote meeting on a shared project, I realized that it was just a communication style issue. He is a very powerful non verbal communicator, but that was lost and he needed to bring up his explicitness to compensate. Obvious when you read this, but harder to see that in yourself.We had to find & build the right tools:There is without a doubt a horrid over reliance on tools. Every time I speak on the topic all people want to discuss is the tools we use. Throwing technology at a bad business just makes an expensive mess. That said I posted my toolset at What are the best tools to manage a remote employee? and also in the slides below.If you want more on it, check out some slides from a presentation I gave on managing distributed teams: http://www.slideshare.net/shanep... or follow me on twitter @justlikair.

Managing remote employees can sure get hectic as they need to address the many challenges that “remote” brings like time, projects/tasks management, checking their performance, shifts and schedules and many more.Keeping all that in mind, a time tracking tool could greatly help in effortlessly managing a remote team. Track.ly by 500apps is one such tool that might fit all the managing needs of remote employees. It’s a time tracking tool with employee monitoring, employee productivity, shift scheduling, project management and much more.Here is how I feel Track.ly might help you with managing remote employees:Time tracking: The desktop widget tracks the time and productivity of the employees which also generates useful stats. For example, the total hours tracked and working hours are two different time tracking stats of the employee giving an in-depth view of their time spent working.Shifts: Remote teams might bring the disadvantage of regular work timings and the same can be nullified with accurate shift scheduling and managing. Effortlessly plan, schedule, and manage their shifts with shift scheduling.Project management: Create projects and add tasks for better streamlining so you can begin assigning them to your employees. A single centralized space for projects and performance. Set the project duration, project budget and manage all the workflow efficiently.Monitoring: Remote employees also need to be monitored to a certain extent for clear transparency. Monitor and manage all the remote employees with varied monitoring features like screenshot capture, real-time screenshot capture of the progress, apps and URLs tracking, hours worked, idle time spent, etcTimesheets: Track.ly have cloud-based online timesheets for all users which can filter based on, time and projects. View, analyze, manage and even export the timesheet if required.Other features like the integrations with project management apps (Asana, Trello, Basecamp 2, Basecamp3, etc)Track.ly by 500apps is designed for the management of teams or personal use. Hence, efficiently manage your team of remote employees with Track.ly It’s compatible with popular OS like Windows, Linux, macOS and comes for $10/mo with NO feature caps.

I remember 7 years back, I got an opportunity to work on a very crucial project with major firm in US involving high stakes, but due to prior commitments, I was moving to London for a period of 6 months. I really wanted to work on this project so I persuaded them to let me work on it remotely but they didn’t support my idea.There just weren’t as productive project management and team communication tools present at that time as they are now. Some were present but nobody knew there real potential and how to use them and incorporate them in their project management cycle.7 years later, 60% of the projects I work on in a year, are with remote teams. All thanks to the productive project management/ team communication tools present out there.10 tools for project management with remote teams:My hot favorites when it comes to team communication:Slack:This is what team communication should be like in the 21st century, ‘Be less Busy’ that’s exactly what it does. It just makes the communication easy and productive. You can log into a team, organize the team conversation in channels, and signNow out to colleges directly in private chats. Share your files and perhaps the most distinctive feature it offers is the ability to let you integrate the other project management tools such as trello, asana etc. so that you get all the notifications in one place. No chaos, No alerts missed. I mentioned this earlier because it is my favorite tools on this list, I use on a daily basis to communicate with teams all around the world, even on the go. You can also add MailClark as a bot to any channel which bridges the gap between Slack and email. Basically you can communicate over mail, trello, twitter, send files over dropbox and much more without leaving the app. Slack truly is the ultimate heavyweight champion when it comes to team communication.Skype: How can one dare to create a list of tools for team communication and miss out Skype? It’s ability to group video calling, instant messaging, screen sharing, and calling phone numbers offline just makes it prerequisite requirement for team communication. I generally use it for its feature of video calling and screen sharing, just makes my presentation to the clients easier.Join.me: Join.me is another great tool for team communication. In offers features like screen sharing with anyone and if you are pro user, you can choose to share a single window, You can also take turns while presenting your screens in true tag team presentation. Simply hand over the control to your partner and then they can present their screen. It also offer the ability to video conference for up to 5 people and if you are a pro user, up to 10 people can hop in. Even when your camera isn’t working or you are simply being shy, just listen up. Want to make a conference call? No problem, Join.me has got you covered with that too. Schedule meeting with a click with your team members in 24 time zones, 24/7.Winner – Well there is no winner here. Although Slack, without a doubt is perhaps the most productive tool out of the three but it doesn’t offer the ability to make call or share screens. On the other hand Skype and Join.me offer almost the same thing but considering the widespread of skype and everyone being aware about to how to use, I personally choose skype over Join.me“Until you manage time, you cannot manage anything else”Here are some of the best tools for Time Management:Hubstaff: It is one of the best time management tools for working remote teams out there. Time tracking, online timesheets, weekly budgets, periodic screenshots to make sure your team is focused on the work, website tracking and payments integration. It tells you the total time spend on a project today. Out of the total teams I am working with, I employ this tool with 9 teams. Well because it just covers every aspect there is related to time and cost management. I can assiugn weekly budget or hours for a project, manage the payments for my team members, keep a check on their work status all with one app.When I work: “Schedule Next Week in 5 minutes” This is what it says and does. Simply schedule your team members with tasks and the allocate hours for the same. It helps you improve efficiency and the work takes place in a timely fashion. I personally came across this tools just 6 months back, It is simple and powerful. I simply assign my team members with tasks and the time for the same.Unless you are really looking to track every nitty bitty of your team member’s activity these two tools should do just fine. I use them to schedule tasks for my team members, track their work hours and reports.Winner – Hubstaff, If offers what ‘When I Work’ does and more. The fact that it lets you manage the time and cost aspect of the project so easily, makes it a clear winner.Well we come down to the climax of this response,Enter Task Management tools:active.collab: It’s simple yet very powerful. It is one of my personal favorites when it comes to projectManagement tools. It offers you features like Task Management, Collaboration, Time tracking, Invoicing. What’s next? It also allows you to install active.collab on your own server. It offers less features but implements them in such an organized way, you’d wish this was only tool you needed but it misses out on some important features that are required to handle large teams.Basecamp: Keeping everyone on the same page in a team is difficult sometimes, basecamp ensures that nobody loses track and is left behind. Some of the features that sets it apart from others in the list are Message Boards – Post announcements related to the project. Campfires – have a quick word, Reports: Know-it-all, what’s left on your plate and what others are up to. It is somewhat similar to trello and since everyone’s already aware and are using trello, it sometimes becomes difficult to incorporate a new tool in the project.Trello: Now chances are if you are here reading this response, you probably have come across ‘trello’ before. It’s follows a different pattern than the other three in the lists. It’s like a board that holds up all your lists of lists. All your ideas, to-dos, priority and deliverables are right there in front of you as is. You can have multiple boards and with a great mobile app that offers a great UX, so you can stay connected with your team on-the-go.Asana: What does Uber, Airbnb, Nasa, and Tesla have in common? They all use Asana to track and plan their projects. It offers a complete Team solution. It unites you with the tools you love like Google sheets, dropbox, Hourstack, Slack etc. With features like Task Management, communication Dashboards and integrations, it is one of the most productive Project management Tools out there.Winner: Well it has to be Asana, it just offers a complete team management solution. Trello and basecamp come close but with so many features that Asana has to offer, you will not need another app ever for task management.Golden Tip: Slack although might have been ahead in the team communication tool’s race but it is not feasible for all users. The Standard plan is for around $7 per active user, per month, that too billed annually.This is where Mattermost comes into the frame. It is an open source, self-hosted slack alternative.It offers all the features that Slack does and more like you can personalize it’s theme to your taste. Unlimited custom themes with over 18 individual color setting options, also you can import theme colors from Slack. For enterprise support you get to play with its code and host it on your server (Its open source, remember?). Among other features Mattermost also offers following features which are not present in Slack: rich formatting features like wide range of font formatting, styles, tables and image embedding options, comment threads, #Hashtags, Auto highlight messages you wrote.These are the 10 Project management tools; I heavily rely upon to interact with my teams around the corners of the world, working onsite or old school – in the office. Incorporating these tools into the lifecycle of the projects has yielded great results for me and my teams.

My short list:Balsamiqhttp://www.balsamiq.com This tool is intended to be a rapid wireframing tool for interactive projects, but i've found it to be useful as a rapid whatever tool. Its like a scaled down Visio (also a good app) with a lot of bells and whistles focused on rapid iteration.Evernotehttp://www.evernote.com I love this app. Its simple and to the point. Organize notes, tag them, and share them across devices and between people. Sharing knowledge, in my opinion, is one of the most challenging hurdles to overcome as a company grows - it simply gets more tedious with more people. Evernote is an easy way to counteract that.GotoMeetinghttp://www.gotomeeting.comThere are several suppliers out there for this same kind of thing, and i'm talking more about robust screen sharing applications than gotomeeting specifically. This tool is invaluable. The value is obvious if you have remote employees, but the ability to quickly and easily share visuals when people aren't present is a huge plus.Invisionhttp://www.invisionapp.com I really love this tool. Like Gotomeeting there are a variety of competitors that are plenty worthy of this list. This tool is a collaborative prototyping and sharing tool. I use it to share visual artwork with clients. Clients and team members alike can make location specific comments (i.e. you can leave a comment at a specific place in a piece of art rather than trying to verbally describe the part of the comp you're referring too).
