andsome Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I never type passwords on the internet. I keep them all on duplicated memory sticks and a plug in hard drive, safety in numbers. From one of these I copy and paste, thus avoiding potential key loggers. What if any advantage would a password manager be to me? If a manager would be better than my method, does anyone have a suggestion as to the best, and also the easiest to set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Keith - are you not going over recent ground. Perhaps you are getting forgetful like me - only worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted October 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 So my method of copy and paste is probably just as good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted October 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 None of this so far convinced me that a manager is any better than copy and past from a seperate drive. You still have to remember a master password, and with my memory I would need to store it somewhere. I am just about to change my passwords one by one, on my seperate drives. I think I will stick with my present method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
