| 1446443 | 2018-02-18 02:05:00 | Do any of the gurus on here use a software programme to save their passwords? If so, what do they recommend? TIA Bryden |

| 1446444 | 2018-02-18 02:53:00 | I use RoboForm. Free to use on one machine but there is a sub to pay if you wish to sync across all your devices. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1446445 | 2018-02-18 02:54:00 | No I just have 2 passwords One - mission critical for banks etc. that I change every year The other for all my other websites, that I don't care if its hacked. Make it say 12 characters long with one upper case letter and two numbers, that should do most sites. I am more worried about remembering my log in - eg which of my email addresses is? and which of my user names is it. (see my new post in PC World Chat) |

| 1446446 | 2018-02-18 03:19:00 | I use Keepass and I save the encrypted file on drop box so I can access it from any PC or my smartphone. There is also a compatible android app for the phone. I used to use Pocket which is an android app but it has not been updated in a while and it doesn't work with drop box any more. |

| 1446447 | 2018-02-18 03:54:00 | I recently changed from mSecure to Enpass which is free and can be configured to store other confidential information as well as passwords. It has a nice simple interface and can sync with other devices. | Jayess64 (8703) | ||
| 1446448 | 2018-02-18 03:56:00 | I would not like to use one, as to me its just one extra level of complication and risk. | Digby (677) | ||
| 1446449 | 2018-02-18 04:10:00 | Thanks for the replies.... Most of them don't matter much.... for my Bank I have an Entrust card so unless they have that they cannot log in anyway. I just thought it would be convenient.... | Bryden (4161) | ||
| 1446450 | 2018-02-18 04:35:00 | I used to use Roboform but the free version was limited to a certain number of entries. I use LastPass now and haven't really had any problems with it - I also like that you can enable two factor authentication for free. So even if someone somehow got my master password, they still can't access my data. | Chikara (5139) | ||
| 1446451 | 2018-02-18 06:17:00 | I use keepass as well. That when my domain catch all for email means most sites eill get their own unique emails address, and a random password. Most are an absolute pain in the butt to type especially on a new device to get access to the keepass database. Also the database is protected by a master password and a private key. |
