Password Keeper

[SleathX1]

In the WAN Show last Friday, Linus shortly talked about a password manager, so that you can have a separate password for everything, and you don't have to remember every single one. Can anybody explain exactly what he meant by that? I know he also said that they might do a video on it, I'll be waiting for that

That's why you don't use one that saves your Passwords on the internet.

The ones that create a file that is on your computer and encrypted are better and safer.

Only problem i find with password managers, and strong-passwords, is if i'm at college or somewhere when i can't be checking the app on my phone constantly just to sign into my email, it becomes annoying and unpractical. 

 

But yeah, it's basically a programme or whatever that stores all of your passwords so you're able to use strong ones, rather than just ones you're able to remember.

LastPass.

That would be LastPass. But like some bigger companies (like, say, Target?) it told immediedly that they got hacked, something might be insecure and that every user should change master password. The stolen data contained login emails, password hints and random stuff. No passwords were stolen.

yeah last apss are great for that, even if they detect that someone got in but there is no evidence to suggest they got anything they still tell you.

 

Though you could just use google chromes default one and use a different password from you gmail account, that pretty much offers the same protection but with LP you do get the other features like auto password change and generated passwords.

My reason for using dedicated manager is 2-3 browsers over 2 PCs (Firefox, Opera and Chromium on windows and linux).

Good of reason as any i normally stick to chrome as i do most of my browsing on a chrome book. On my pc i'm mostly coding.
