Are you using a password manager

[fortunecrypto]

I have read a lot of hacking incidents I don't know each one story they all said it was hacked, but is it safe to use a password manager like Roboform, keypass and dashlane to manage all your online login details and how safe are these devices.

One master password for all of your passwords? Not a fan. Although, it can be convenient it doesn't mean its the best option. However, I believe password managers do have 2 factor as well like requiring a certain file to login. That could be something thats useful, and attackers wouldn't think of looking at. A popular choice seems to be Yubikey, and keepass together. I've used password managers in the past, but have moved on since to the old fashion way of remembering them, and recording them locally for complex passwords.

It really depends. Its as safe as the environment its kept in, and the strength of the password.

I use a variation of pelmanism to create unique passwords for every site. However I use auto-fill for some of the sites I visit regularly.

You are probably aware of this but I'll say it for other people using the auto fill option. Auto fills can be tricked and potentially be phished for information by hidden form fields. If you login to this site for example then the auto fill will just put in your username and password right? Well if the site owner has a hidden text box for a credit card your auto fill may well input your credit card information into that box giving them this information.

Its something which has been a known issue with Chrome, Safari and lastpass. I would recommend against auto fill options whenever possible or be careful where you are using autofill and what information is stored in your password manager.

Even if you use a password manager, your accounts can still get hacked. It's not a guarantee that you are 100% safe.. Its just a step yo safety.
I think someone who would do a combination of all the security measures is better off
➖ Keep your computer or devices clean off malware and shady apps... Lately there have been incidents of crypto related apps that act as malware
➖ Bookmark all important links
➖ Install critical security add ons like cryptonite, ublock, netcraft to avoid getting phished whilst avoiding shady addons on your browser
➖ Use complex unpredictable passwords
➖ Use 2FA verification with every account you have especially with Authy or Google Authenticator
➖ Don't use the same password for all sites

Thanks for the warning.

I have a plastic card reader which creates a unique, short-life 6 digit code for each login, and this needs to be input for online account transactions. I'm not sure why more banks don't provide similar facilities

If we dont trust exchanges with our funds or wallets that we dont have the private keys for I dont see much sense to trust a third party with the passwords we use for those exchanges and sites that are important to us. Plus password managers are hack-able and pass stealers and keyloggers can be configured to search for the files that those password managers create to store the passwords in.
Not to mention leakages or if a bad actor decided to sell millions of passwords of their clients one day.

Are you sure about this? From what I've seen, auto-fill only works on sites where I've entered that data before. That's why a phishing version of this forum (.to) asks me to enter my username, which is an instant red flag warning me I'm not on the real site.

[taguig]

yes I'm using lastpass and it's very convenient you should just take good care of your master password and you are good to go,it's very convenient the only way it could go compromise is if you have a malware in your computer so be sure you use a good anti virus

[gentlemand]

Nope. I don't like the idea of a third party program being in charge of all that stuff, even more so when you have to pay for it. I also don't fancy the idea of everything hanging on one password. I'll stick to 2FA and my own astonishing abilities to remember what's needed.

[LTU_btc]

No, I don't want to trust my passwords to 3rd party service. Maybe it's convenient to use, but I manage my passwords in old fashioned way. I trying to use unique password for every website and it's really difficult to remember all these different passwords fir every website. Especially I'm struggling to remember passwords on websites which I use rarely. So, often I forced to click forgot password button.

I'm often using autofill for convenience. I know it's not adviced to do that. For example Firefox even warn not to use autofill on websites which don't have https. So, I'm trying not use autofill on websites like PayPal, crypto exchanges and others which are related to money.

[Kemarit]

Not a fan as well of those third party password apps. I'm still as old school as you can get, I even used excel spreadsheet before and we had a discussions about it many times already (not recommended). So I just try to write down all my unique password in my notebook, and when its time to log-in, just pull all the data and I'm off to go.

I do not use a password manager. Any password related program that I have used is only for protection from small children in my home or people who have access to my computer.

However, if you are going to use a password manager, I will suggest to got only for paid ones with solid reviews.

No need to go with paid password managers.

KeePass is completely free, open source and doesn't require any third-party cloud server/storage (and that's why it's the one I use it).

Nope. I don't like the idea of a third party program being in charge of all that stuff, even more so when you have to pay for it. I also don't fancy the idea of everything hanging on one password. I'll stick to 2FA and my own astonishing abilities to remember what's needed.

KeePass is the way.

Well if the site owner has a hidden text box for a credit card your auto fill may well input your credit card information into that box giving them this information.

So, if one has already done this auto fill how to undo this to forget auto fill? I am using Mozilla Firefox and avast browser. These browser offers auto fill. Is there any chance that it could be undo the auto fill?

This thinks me already that I have to undo the auto fill. How I wish I did not accept the auto fill option on mozilla firefox and avast browser.

[GGurol]

I am using Roboform password manager. It has full browser integration. Also support cloud save/load.
It's very hard to manage if you have hundred of usernames/passwords for your job like me.

[LeGaulois]

I used Roboform a decade ago. I even bought a license key but they fucked their customers after requiring to buy another license since Firefox updated to another version (at this time it was not often to see a new browser release) Since I moved to LastPass, using it for years now and it's the most useful tool on the web. (not sure if it has 2FA)

[Waradlain]

I divide all my passwords into several groups.
The first is passwords of credit cards, Internet banks and other services related to finance. I encode these passwords and keep them as email draft in this form.
The second group is passwords from emails and hostings. These passwords are in my notebook. And finally, the third group is passwords from forums, social networks and other services. They're in open access right on the desktop. I know that no one but me will use them in my place.

For taking the best security for my assets and private keys I have been using LastPass for a long time. It is very secure and most reliable I think. But there are some investors do not like to use third-party software if it brings trouble which could be more costly. But So far I have not faced with any trouble yet.
