Storing passwords

(1/2) > >>

Buzzbee:
Your web browser is probably not the best password protector for secure passwords. I use Last Pass which will generate secure passwords and store them for you. With Last Pass you just remember one secure password, made up by you, to log into the last pass vault. once logged in it will autofill your username and password for the sites you visit.
Remember that passwords using birthdays, family member names and even things like 1234 are not secure.
And any secure shopping or banking sites should have it's own secure password,not one shared by many sites you visit. Especially if you use that password on Social Media( facebook,Twitter,and such).

I'm a very satisfied LastPass user as well.  It manages all my passwords across all browsers and all computers for me.   This way I can have unique 12 character passwords that are different for every site.   I upgraded my account to premium for $1/month which allows me to manage the passwords from Android.   But the real benefit is I can share passwords with other users.   So all our bank accounts and other joint are in sync between my computers and my wife's.  If either one of us has to change a password,  it gets update for the other as well.   It also allows me to keep my son's accounts in check as well.

Crofter:
It certainly looks tempting. All the passwords a person accumulates is mind boggling unless you use some of the same ones in different places, (which I know is not good) Still I have a reluctance to figuratively put all my eggs in one basket. Will have to ponder that one.
