Password manager thing?

[Danith]

Got a spam today and it said I know your password, blah blah usual crap.

I've been lazy and used a similar password for all my non banking stuff and it seems that password managers are a reliable and safe tool? Any recommendations? I use the same one for a lot cos it's a f**king ballache! Ta

Ive had tons of those emails demanding bitcoin as they know your password, stating some old password, and all that bollox. I read into it and its to do with a data leak in the past, ebay or whatever. I too could do with something to manage my passwords, as they are all over the shop now

I’ve used Keeper for years. Never had an issue with it.

I guess if there is one negative to these things is because I now use random complex passwords for everything I always need my phone when I want to access something. I have no idea what any of my passwords are from memory.

My brother installed password manager a few days ago and it made his samsung go mental. Was not impressed in the slightest. Had to factory reset the whole thing.

Hard pass

Yeah I thought that would be a bit of a pain

1Password is by far the best one i've used, plugins work really well for chrome, plus integration on iOS.

KeePass and LastPass are also worth considering if 1Password isn't to your liking.

If you are worried about a data breach throw your email into this.

Have I Been Pwned: Check if your email has been compromised in a data breach

Have I Been Pwned allows you to search across multiple data breaches to see if your email address has been compromised.

haveibeenpwned.com

Then obviously change any passwords for anything that flags up

Nice one. Safe is it? I'm so clueless with all the stuff and get mega para about it all!

Yeah it’s legit, just a database of known breaches. It scans them for your email amongst the millions and lets you know what they think could have been found.

Yep I've been pwned 4 times it says

Another thumbs up for 1Password. I've been using it for years and years without issue and it works beautifully across all of my devices; PC, laptop, mobile, etc. It's great for passwords, logins, secure notes, passport details, bank cards... pretty much whatever you want to safely secure away.

I use bitwarden, but that’s because I self host a server.

I pay for LastPass - love it.

Used Dashlane in the past but didn't get on with it.

Last pass

Used it for a few years now, never had a single issue with it

A couple of them at work use last pass. They rate it.
