You have too many passwords that it is hard to remember them all. Then you have a manager to manage and protect your password. The manager itself being protected by a password. So, if the manager password is broken, then all you password will be exposed.
I don't think a password for the password manager is more secure then the rest of the password, right? Anyway, I used OI safe for my Android. Non for PC. |

if you up to setting it up on docker try bitwarden it is open source, or you can use their cloud service.

QUOTE(padlie @ Dec 7 2020, 10:47 AM) Do you use password manager? LastPass, is the best from my experiences.Please suggest good password manager that can be used in windows, android and ios. Thank you QUOTE https://www.safetydetectives.com/blog/the-b...sword-managers/ Hereβs a summary of the best free password managers: π₯1. LastPass β #1 overall free password manager. Offers unlimited password storage on multiple devices, as well as more additional features than any other competitor. LastPass is the only free password manager that offers password auditing, 2FA compatibility, password sharing, and a built-in authenticator. π₯2. NordPass β Unlimited storage on multiple devices, plus an intuitive interface. Includes biometric logins, powerful security protections, and consistent auto-filling. Limits users to logging in on only one device at a time. π₯3. RememBear β Very user-friendly program which provides unlimited password storage on one device. Provides cute bear cartoons, a helpful achievement system for accessing additional features, and biometric logins for free users. 4. Bitwarden β Unlimited password storage + multi-device sync, but challenging interface. One of the best free password management plans, but the issues with auto-filling and auto-saving passwords make Bitwarden best for technically experienced users. 5. Sticky Password β Saves unlimited passwords and works with lots of browsers. Provides USB portability and biometric login, but you have to upgrade for multi-device sync. Bonus: Dashlane β Great extra features, but limited storage on free plan. One-click password changer and breach monitoring are great, but only provides 50 passwords on a single device. daisiesdontdoit92 liked this post

Better not to save banking password online, preferred just manually write down in notebook and keep it at home. Dont trust these software too much, why would they keep your password for free

And it's only $10 a year for premium. And even then, I don't know what premium has over the free one since the free already allows for sync across devices and unlimited accounts. I pay $10 just to support the dev. |

Even detecting too fast key in between password would work also to catch hacking You're too optimistic people would type long and complicated passwords. Also, not all sites have that function to lock out users after X attempts. But unless you have a really good memory to memorize long passwords for different sites, you'd probably be using the same one for different sites. Compromise one, then the others are compromised as well. This is what password managers are used to solve. Plus, some password managers will inform you if certain sites have been breached or not so you can immediately change it. |

QUOTE(Zot @ Dec 27 2020, 07:27 PM) That is because sites are not secure and blamed simple password. If the site is breached, long complicated password is also useless, right? Yep. If the site is breached and passwords are leaked in -god forbid- plain text, no amount of length and complicated password is safe. If the site is not breached, with simple and reused password, your account alone will still be breached. Which is why you use a password manager. You can store unique and complicated password for each logins. Unique, so that if one site is breached, the perpetrator won't be able to use the same password on other sites, and complicated to avoid brute force (which some important sites have other preventative measure, like locking out after a few tries and 2 factor authentication for examples). |
