Hello ! I do not have any password manager in my mac, so far. To reduce risk, I want to begin implementing a password manager on the MacBook Pro, iPad mini, iPhone and iMac. But I won't do it in one day. Too complex.
I want to use 1Password. 1Password is, I believe, recommended on this forum. My criteria for choice are: easy to use, good crypto and no password saved on any server outside my home.
STARTING POINT: What I do now is :
(1: primarily) Keep up to date in a secure place a set of master text files stating the specifics of the servers which know an incarnation of me and all relevant details, including contact email, security questions/answers, login and password.
(2: Secondarily) Let Safari manage Login and associated passwords for me, but this is not exhaustive (does not work for my bank, even for login) and can fail or forget.
FINAL POINT: Ultimately, I would like my text files to survive but to no longer contain the passwords, which would be high entropy passwords stored on 1Password.
What is the recommended process for moving from my STARTING POINT to my FINAL POINT ? TIA
