Password Managers

[backwoodsman]

I don’t, I remember them and each password is unique and somehow linked to the account it’s for in different way than others. I must have a good memory seeing as I also remember my Stableford scores. ?

Out of interest, how many passwords are you remembering? Just checked my list & I've got about 70 - I reckon I could remember about10 (if pushed).

Not a huge amount, maybe 50 at a complete guess.

That makes your method a bit more achieveable. I've currently got 124 unique passwords saved in 1Password. There's no chance I'm remembering all of them. I also have the memory of a sieve so there's that too. For me, a password manager has been invaluable.

Once my memory starts going I’ll try to remember to use a password manager.

Sounds very complicated, just use your daughter's name for everything ?

Someone already asked how many, but an equally important question, how complex are your passwords?

With a password manager, all your passwords can be a random combination of up to 99 characters. Unfortunately, some websites will have restrictions, so you will be forced to go shorter.

If you use a password manager with a master password that is really strong, combined with 2-factor authentication, you're likely less exposed than having weaker passwords.

They’re all at least ten characters and have at least one capital, symbol and number in them. Not the most secure I know but I’ve only been broken into once that I know of and that was a long time ago when an ex got into my Hotmail in about 2005.
