Yes, I have been using the password manager for quite some time (more than 10 years). It is very convenient and safe (subject to all the rules).

Thank you for sharing your share, but you can tell me what your password manager is using, and have a guide to using it, sharing it for me.

Thank you

I am not using password managers. I don't like using generated passwords from third parties. I would prefer to just create my own complicated password and write it down on a piece of paper. That would be it. The most important thing for me in a password is that it is at least 10 characters long, with small and capital letters, and a combination of letters, numbers, and characters. That is safe enough already.

I use chrome to manage passwords, and I have not faced danger so far.
in managing my personal password only uses my memory. because I think if placed in a file will be more dangerous. and the form of safety that I do is by writing to books that cannot be seen by many people. because I think the method is safe enough, the most important thing in data security is when accessing the data
If there are several passwords, it is possible to keep this in mind, but the increase in passwords makes it impossible. I think you should try a different method. You can not always be protected from viruses with this method. If you already have keylogger on your computer, it does not matter.

I don't use application, I mean separate application. I do have some in notepad in my computer and cellphone but I add codes in it. So if ever someone access it , they will not notice it as password into something. I only used it to apps or websites I don't usually visit but I have account just incase I'll be needing it the next time since some websites have different format in inputting password.

My thought has always been that, if I use password managers without having other backups, what if the system I use get lost or in an incidence of theft, I might not be able to recover it again. So, to avoid an eventual lost without recovery, I try to get a diary in which I pen down everything and details of those securities and passwords. Although, that doe not nullify the use of password managers, because it gives easy access.

So far I only use notepad to protect my Ledger. All the privatekey that I have, I paste in my notebook and then I RAR with a complicated password. And this is very safe for me. Yes, of course, the laptop or computer that you use must be full of protection too. Sometimes it's not just key thieves but also web phishing that sometimes we forget to check when opening certain sites. So that our data is taken by him.

Do you personally use Password Managers too?
No, I am confident keeping my passwords offline and prefer writing it on my personal notes. I don’t feel secure keeping it on computer or mobile due to scary cyber threats that keeps on evolving everyday.

yes I use it, I mean it is impossible we remember all our passwords, for example registering on exchange, social media and other accounts it is very helpful. When you log in you do not have to write it down again, it will be seen automatically.
I have used it for a long time and it's safe.

I used Google Password Manager a while ago but I ended up getting hacked, afterward, I stored all of my passwords in e-mail account but it ended up the same.
because of that, I refused to store all of my passwords online ever again because I believe there is no better place to keep your password other than inside your brain.
I had tried to store it on the paper too, but I ended up losing it.

Not use something like that yet, maybe i will read more about it. For now i only save my data in flashdrive and not in computer. Because i see some people can get ransomware when they do something like browsing or maybe do anything in internet. And i only use that strategy to secure my account.

We're all the same, I've never tried to use that application before. Because I do, I print my private keys and include them in my important documents. I also erase all my copies on my personal computer so that I am not victimized by hackers' virus softwares.

I will not mention a name I do have a friend who's been using a password manager and ask him if it is safe he told me it's 100% safe, because in case the hacker hacked the master password and try to login using the master password, the password manager will need an approval from the email to approve the login from a different IP, password manager is not yet very popular but they are proven to be strong protection.

print and save in several place make it more secure.our private keys security depend on our own strategy.never placed it in computer that used  by many people .and also dont ever let our friend use our computer its very risky.using password manager could help us to set best combination and strongest word as our password.

That acticle is really helpful and informative to be aware always to our account's protection and security. Well, I don't use such app like password manager but I learned something upon reading the article. I will follow those guidelines cause I know its helpful indeed. I can say that my passwords are complicated, I make sure that I am the only one knows my password. Everytime I receive notifications that my account is having a suspicious log in attempt, I do immediate password change.

We use it at my work place and so far we haven't experienced any problems but when it comes to my personal PC I prefer to have them stock on paper ( old school ) as you ever know what can happen with your data. I keep most of my important stuff on paper and that paper have a back-up paper  Grin. I like to take extra safety but yea Password manager works just fine but I would not use it for crypto related stuff.

I have a lot of passwords for different websites, thats why I am storing them on paper in my desk. In my opinion if you have a password manager in your browser, the risk of losing all your passwords at once is pretty high.

To be honest I have never used any additional applications or to manage passwords, I only manage them privately as I store them properly, and maybe always update passwords if necessary. Managing passwords from third parties or other applications honestly will make me worry. So in this issue, I think as long as we are confident in our self-managed passwords, that is enough for us to be safe.

I have never saved my password for an application or in a specific browser. I keep all the passwords and keys that I have in a data bank that I made myself and only I can access it. and for that, I reduce the risk of a hack for all my keys and passwords.
