[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1884336, member: 204485"] I also disagree with not keeping your passwords on your computer. They are website passwords in most cases so you need them where your web browser is. Most password managers provide browser extensions for their apps so you can quickly access your web site passwords from within your browser with your master password. For that reason I do not allow my browsers to record any of my user name/passwords. Not only does a password manger allow you to create strong, unmemorable multi-character passwords but it also allows you to audit your list and in the case of my password manager, allows me to check for breaches. Think of a disaster scenario, like a flood, tsunami, earthquake or volcanic eruption, all possible where I live. Say i lost everything, my home my devices the lot. How quickly could I recover? I need only buy a mobile phone to access my apple account. Download my password manager app, login with my master password and download all my passwords from iCloud. My only reservation about 1Password and other similar password managers is that all your data is saved on their servers. Yes, I know it's encrypted and it offers easy access from any computer but Enpass only stores my data on my devices and up to now I trust iCloud to keep the synced data safe via encryption and 2FA.
