I use BitWarden. My experience with it is meh. Seems like I always find myself having to into it because I'm on multiple systems. And what about the LastPass debacle? I'm unconvinced of the utility and security of a password manager. Having to manually key in one of those long cryptic passwords would be a colossal pain in the you know what. My important accounts are 2 factor protected anyway. I think there is a balance between ultimate security and convenience. I think you computer security types don't quite get that.

Just use a password manager and generate unique passwords for each site. DIY spreadsheet or physical notebook can work, but you then need to sync it across multiple devices for backups et cetera. Your three most likely mistakes you'll make online are probably: - entering your credentials on a very believable phishing site - having one of the many sites that you've reused your passwords leak that password - buying stuff you don't need on Paceline |

I love this forum and all, but if there's one place I worry about a leak, it would be here. We're running on super outdated software.
So make sure your Paceline password is different from any other site. |

I sure hope that's a low, low number, because doing so would be truly foolish, especially if that pw is used for anything remotely important. |

I had a password manager for years. But have switched to Apple’s built in password manager after seeing all the third part managers getting hacked.
I always you long multi character passwords and the Apple password manager will show comprised passwords too. I also use two factor when it is offered on a login also. I have been doing web dev since forever and learned not to trust any site. |

I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to how anyone's personal system is better or more secure than a password safe. |

I've worked in IT for over two decades. I've seen every sort of personal system imagineable. The user always has some justification they've used to convince themselves that their system is better. It isn't. |

I’ve only had information hacked once and it was years ago when the IRS site was hacked and I was one of the lucky 600,000 persons that had my SSN stolen and a return filed under my social security number.
Rules I live by are never click on links emailed or text to me from an unknown. Don’t click on links sent to me by a known if I’m not expecting it. I refuse to give my ssn number to anyone unless it’s bank and I’m there or on the phone if I called the bank. Make all purchased with my watch or phone not a card. Card all my card in a scan proof wallet. Save no credit card information on anyone’s site plus I tend to buy gift cards to make purchases. When in doubt don’t do it. A good chance if it’s too a good to be true it just not might be. Verify! Other than the IRS hack that is my one and only.

If criminals start using big data and AI to figure this out, it's game over anyway. Might as well just leave my wallet on the driveway.

Then I write them in a notebook I have and yes, I have 5-6 pages of them but I don't have to depend on any 'service' to store them.

Second, it still helps because I'd just pull up my safe on my phone and type the password in manually (and then immediately change it!) |

Ah, that makes sense.
