Advanced Plus Security Nightwalker's simple security setup for 2020

[Nightwalker]

A new year and a new PC deserves a new simple setup

With the sale of Latpass to an investment firm are you going to stick with them? My wife and I also use lastpass, but I’m exploring alternatives.

I didnt find any free, good alternative for LastPass yet, maybe KeePass, but I still think LastPass is better for my needs.

Unfortunately the most user friendly solution for our situation seems to be 1password. But, going to potentially try out bitwarden.

Bitwarden does almost everything Lastpass does. I don't see much difference.
If not I wouldn't use Bitwarden.

@Nightwalker: any Virus and Malware Removal Tools?

I found they're pretty much the same, too. Except Bitwarden doesn't let you store documents in its vault, whereas Lastpass does. Otherwise, I would have switched.

what kind of documents? docs, etc...?

what kind of documents? docs, etc...?

Yep, I like to attach important financial documents to some secure notes, but I found that was a premium-only feature.

For that , i use a cloud storage service and encrypt my docs personally via PGP before uploading. Free and more secure.

We've all got our systems

I used to use Emsisoft Emergency Kit and Hitman Pro, but in my own machines I dont see the reason to use them anymore.

Thank you all for reminding me, also, how very long it has been since I've done an Emsisoft Emergency Kit scan!
