We are Apple-only with iPhones, iPads, iMacs and Macbook. In my two person home we have used 1Password for years and been happy for doing so. What else should we try? What does Wirecutter/walter mossberg recommend? It seriously stresses my husband out, which in turn is not fun for me because I'm the one who suggested we try 1P. Looking for alternatives that do not return us to this kind of hellish experience. I am frustrated because I have spent months redoing ALL my passwords AND have attempted to tutor him in the ways of using it. The icon prompt popup thingy on individual fields is incredibly. He ends up with 10 versions of partially saved passwords in 1P. Only he keeps getting confused on how to save the password. And because he cannot figure it out - what's the point? The whole reason I moved to 1password was so we could share important passwords. Of course, by writing it down, I put the master password in in apps that sync so that I can have it available across my devices - which then negates the purpose, right? And of course, I write down said master password in apps since the master password so long it is impossible to memorize. Keep an open mind.ġpassword user here - I can figure it out, though I frequently have to look up the master password, log in on myriad devices over and over again. I’m always sorry to see people go, especially longtime fans, but I also don’t think that shopping around and considering your options is a bad thing.
This is one of the most common causes of compromised accounts. Pick something that will notify you when one of your passwords needs to be changed, such as after a data breach. If you don’t enjoy the experience or it becomes a pain to use, it may lead you to become lax in your security habits. Newcomers to the scene may appear good, but there’s no way to know for sure until it’s been tried and tested. Pick something that has a good reputation and that others trust. Be absolutely sure that you are the only one that can access your data, and that there are no ways around that fact. Pick something that protects your data with encryption and not just authentication. Pick something platform-agnostic that will allow you to use whatever device or operating system you want to, now and into the future. I’ll give you the same advice that I typically give people that are looking to use a password manager for the first time.
