Password managers?

[George K]

I used to use 1Password. Worked well and I was happy. All I had to do was enter a specific keystroke combination, and it pasted my username and password.

Then, they went to a subscription model.

Since then, I've been using Apple's Safari password system, and it's working pretty well. What I like is that usernames and passwords are shared via somebody else's computer the cloud to that all of the devices I have linked to somebody elses' computer my iCloud account see the information. It's pretty nice.

Is there a reason to subscribe to a password manager?

I’ve been using the built in safari one for years.

I don’t let it have the passwords to my financial accounts. I’m happy to type them in every time.

I use KeePass, which is free, but mostly for Windows. I can share the file via the network/cloud.

Sure, I'll take a look, thanks for sharing.

I do everything I should not do.

Pretty much use the same password for different websites
Keep a spreadsheet on my computer with important websites listed with username/password (Of course TNCR is top of the list)

You forgot one. You also post about your bad habits publicly.

Use a different password for each website. Minimum of 20 random characters, changed on a daily basis.

Keep a hard copy spreadsheet with important websites listed with username/password (Of course TNCR is top of the list). This hard copy spreadsheet is flown to a safety box on a different continent. Travel time to the safety box is >24 hours, so if it is intercepted or the plane is hijacked, the hard copy spreadsheet is already out of date.

That's what I do, too!

I do the exact same thing. I use lastpass as well for windows browsers.
