Password managers

Hi guys, just wondering if a Password Manager is a good idea and do some of you actually use this sort of protection.

Thanks in advance.

Leon

I use 1 Password works well and replicates more or less instantly across all devices

Same here - although I use 'BitWarden' for it's multi-device support. (I have one encrypted vault of passwords stored in their servers and the client on multiple devices.)

I used to use LastPass but got sick of paying an ever increasing amount for their multi-device support.

I strongly recommend you use one. You only need to remember 1 master password (preferably a passphrase that's easy to remember) and let the manager do all the work for you.

Cheers,
V.

I personally am a bit wary of the concept of entrusting all my passwords to a third party. There is no guarantee that it can't be hacked.

others may disagree
