[QUOTE="upnorth, post: 1018721, member: 38832"] Please avoid make this thread into another, What is the Best Password Manager. It exist much better sections and even poll threads for that. Not sure where, just ask. (y):coffee: [HR][/HR] More then 2 years ago since I last tested ID Protection, and in the light of the latest password manager ( PM ) debacle and also constant breaches, I thought why not take it out for another spin a few days and see what F-Secure hopefully improved, or not. I already own a TOTAL license so this was just a matter of download it from My F-Secure. I thought about creating a brand new thread, but naah this will do just fine as it might be interesting to read some of the previous issues encountered and compare.
