Re: Password Managers Reply #25 – March 20, 2017, 07:56:53 pm That's quite a saga, Chris. And I can only imagine how pleased you were to get that phone call from TSA.As for PW masagers, I've been using Roboform for several years. It's very easy to use and I like the fact that it syncs across all our devices: laptops, tablets, phones. Like Dashlane, it has a master password that that you don't want to forget - you'll have to start all over again if you do. And like others, it runs as a browser add-in with its own toolbar. Any time you enter a username and PW into a new site, it will ask if you want to safe the login info. It's a few bucks a year, but I consider money well spent.
Re: Password Managers Reply #26 – March 21, 2017, 09:05:04 am Been there, suffered that. . . After my "loss" several years ago, I went to my agency IT department and asked a few of the techies about a password manager. At home, all our devices are Apple products. 1Pass and Dashlane were the two companies most recommended. I went with Dashlane. No regrets. Easy to use. It entered nearly all of my 43 separate passwords on its own. I had to entered a couple it was blocked out of, but now it's just the single main password I need to memorize. Recently, our agency was hit with a potentially devastating ransom-ware attack, from Russia or eastern Europe, according to authorities. It shut us down for three days while IT scrubbed about 1500 of our computers. Now, we are forced to change our much more complex work password every 90 days or we get locked out. Dashlane can not get me into my work computer. I must enter myself each day.

Re: Password Managers Reply #29 – June 01, 2017, 06:41:57 pm Maybe not so safe after all?"OneLogin has suffered one big breach. The password management company announced Wednesday that its data centers in the US had been hacked."OneLogin believes that all customers served by our US data center are affected and customer data was potential compromised," the company wrote in an email to its customers. Password managers have grown in popularity as people try to keep up with the many different passwords they have for their multitude of accounts online. And those passwords can be complicated: You're often asked to create each with at least 16 characters with various combinations of characters. Managers serve as a master key and store all that info as either an app or a browser extension, helping you to log in with hard-to-crack passwords. Unfortunately, because they hold a person's every password, managers are prime targets for attacks. A big case in point -- that LastPass breach in 2011. "Ed
