[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1086584, member: 96560"] Password Managers are a waste of money for most users. The main benefit is that you can access your passwords list from another computer. If you don't have another PC or don't need that benefit, then it is just an extra monthly bill. You don't need to consider what protection it offers for passwords and other sundry features. It doesn't matter if it is a currently popular security thing. Hot ideas that have no benefit for you is a waste of your money, doesn't matter if it is a security product. Most modern browsers, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Apple Safari, can generate secure and complex passwords for you All major browsers store saved passwords with encryption: Of course password managers will try to sell you that browsers are not as trustworthy - they want to sell you their product, All encryption algorithms are equally secure until broken. And password managers are also using publicly available encryption algorithm. There are very few cryptographic experts in the world who can create new algorithms, and new ones requires lengthy public testing before they are accepted. Vendors are bending the truth for advertising purposes. Some of the benefits offered by password managers may once upon a time be missing in browsers, but not anymore. [/QUOTE]
