A notebook, a pen and a vault is all i need.
These cloud systems (can suffer outages) and software can be hacked, if not now, but in the future.
Not everything is bullet proof!
I know where mine are. No-one else, only me!

An easier alternative could be to encrypt a text file with all your passwords using Glary Utilities and choosing the autoexec decrypt option.
But I prefer not to store all my passwords in a password manager. If someone manages to hack your main password it will have access to all your passwords.

Isn't that dangerous to keep all you pwd in a major manager program, then this very program is cracked?

Ok, I'm confused with GOTD. Back in October you had Steganos Password Manager 21 as a GOTD. Now you are reverting backwards to Steganos Password Manager 20??
I appreciate the effort, but..did something happen to revert backwards?

I looked on the web site but could not find an answer to this:
From which currently available password managers can this import data?

I use my computer for business. I have triple redundancy on different computers plus Carbonite. I memorize my passwords. I have a nice twisted one I use for pretty much everything. Every 6 months I change it to something else twisted. Works for me.
Save | Cancel
Hi Elaine. Yes, it will work for you...until it doesn't. Using a "nice twisted" password for every login is begging for trouble.
I haven't used Steganos; I use Bitwarden. I promise you, once you use a password manager, you won't go back. The security is much better and it allows you to automatically log in (Bitwarden does, anyway). And all you have to remember is one password to unlock all of your passwords.

Hi Reynaldo, thanks for responding. I totally agree with your viewpoint. I'm just old school because, well, I'm old. My method has worked for me since 1975, so it has it's merits. I'd like to try a manager, again, because I'm old, and I'm just starting to suffer from CRS. I'll take a look at Bitwarden. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi Elaine. Bitwarden is available as an extension on some browsers. I know it's available for Firefox and Chrome. Unsure about any others. Best of luck!

Can anyone tell me how this compares to LastPass? LastPass is available for free, downloadable for multiple platforms, and is web based so if your computer crashes can be downloaded again and reinstalled. Also passwords available by logging into site from any computer whether they have app installed or not. What advantage would this program give?
Save | Cancel
LDW,
Isn't Lastpass nearly abandonware? I know they were hacked a few years ago, and the activity on their support forums is non-existent. I haven't seen a reply from LP to a post there for a while.
I can't answer your question, I don't know this program, but I'd suggest looking in to BitWarden. It's free, open source, and works across browsers and phones. And customer service is responsive.

J,
I moved from LastPass to BitWarden a few years ago. I love BitWarden.
Save | Cancel
J, some of the comments are from 2018 no updates since March that year so its like you said " abandoned
Save | Cancel
Thanks. Got it. Only nag is that on Windows 10 x64 Pro the text in prg is often crowded making hard to make out a second line of text in places. Can't resize the running app. Won't be my first choice. LastPass still my #1.
This one does tie into some separate applications if so choose.

I never allow my passwords to be encrypted, there are many reasons for it, but it is not my point here. The best way to protect your passwords are in a file that sits in an encrypted vault on a USB drive, this way the passwords are always accessible from any place I go and in many computers and tablets I use and I have many copies of it on different USB sticks. Also, create your own passwords and remember the ones you use the most. Random generated passwords are not much secure than your own typed passwords. Use upper and lower case letters at random places in the password and special characters at the front and the end of the passwords, that is very hard to crack.

This is a genuine question based on my recent computer experience and being not very technical:
What happens if, for example, I suffer a hard disk failure and have to get a new computer?
Would all my passwords then become lost?
Save | Cancel
Mike,
You should ALWAYS have backups of your data; even better, backups of your system as well.
Password managers store the passwords in encrypted form; they should be included in your data backups.
Then if disaster strikes, you can copy the backups to a new hard drive or new computer, and be up and going in 10-30 minutes.
Save | Cancel
Thanks Bruce,
I did keep copies of quite a bit in the cloud and some programs on a stick.
The problem I've found, is that some programs (games, for example) won't now run on the new computer when downloaded from the stick.
I'm led to believe that licences don't always carry forward, the non-tech bit of me doesn't quite get why.
Save | Cancel
Mike,
I think, it has less with the licenses to do (but I could be wrong, as well...). Programs (among them games) can install/write their data into various folders at the same time (ProgramData, AppData, etc.)... So you would have to copy all of them and later restore them...
Not to mention, most of them will not work if they miss the keys in the Windows Registry...
Personally, I only backup game saves (if not saved already into some cloud, like Steam does) and just reinstall the game...

Mike, i have had to reinstall windows soooo many times before and lost all my licenses and data.but then i got so sick of having to reinstall all my programmes and software again too most of which the licenses where lost i decided its time to stop being lazy and backing things up. trying numerous ways i then found that the best in my honest opinion was to create a system image on a seperate hard disk.but it will be good to not only have a disk drive with enough space but also with extra space for future reference.a system image will not only restore your windows but it will restore all your apps,software,games and even licenses for the softwares or whatever.so u wont have the tedious task of reinstalling them all,not only that but i found out somthing else too which is what i like most about a system image backup. lets say i buy a new motherboard or cpu install it or those usually if i connect my hard disk the load windows my license would be invalid hence more hassle. but if i just go to bootup recovery and reinstall my system image backup even if there is nothing wrong after it finishes and i boot into windows my license is still active and valid so much less fuss or and hassle all around hope this was of some help to anyone that reads it.

Thanks Lee and Black Seraph,
I will take note of what you say.
Also, yes - laziness is an issue.
Of course another problem for me was that I was previously on Windows 7 and had to get Windows 10.

Will it store passwords in the cloud so I can access them from any device anywhere?

Roy Bazylewicz, LastPass does.

Roy Bazylewicz,
Roboform has a cloud based version, Roboform Everywhere, and one that is not. I have used both for 10 years and opted for the cloud version. Awesome app.

Passwords across websites should be unique. There are many data breaches, and its common for usernames/passwords to be tried on different sites. So 'getYourApplesHere.com' gets hacked, so someone will try those usernames and passwords on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. Always use unique passwords.
The best recommendation for passwords is a colour, adjective and animal. For some sites that want special characters and numbers, you can throw in a dash and a number between 200 and 900, so redSmilingCamel-562. Thats 19 characters, and easy to remember. fdhgjeyehskslfdhf might be secure, but its hard to remember. As is r$dSm1123i&%nCam3l, etc. Keep it simple but secure. This doesn't work for all websites, as some limit to 12 characters, etc.

Chris,
Re: "That's 19 characters, and easy to remember."
That's true... if you have only five passwords to remember. After that, one goes, "Was that a blue dolphin and pink giraffe, or was it a blue giraffe?"
Most people have FAR more than just five passwords to remember. That's why these password managers are so valuable.
Save | Cancel
Bruce, yes, but ... good grief. There is only so much I can explain in a small box. I wasn't implying you only remember 5 passwords. But if you've written down a password or got it stored somewhere, its easier to remember 'happyBlueDolphin' than a series of random characters and symbols.
Password managers are excellent, but sometimes, you have to log into Asda on an app that won't work with your password manager, or a work account that you have to use with four people. Better to tell them 'happyBlueDolphin' than 'dollar ampersand capital H lowercase i five two dash capital Y' etc, etc.
Sorry for not explaining in an essay...
