Password Managers are a waste of money

[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 109138, post: 1086678"] I believe he is stating that browser encryption is just as strong as PW managers and can be used without spending extra money on software. Stating you would not trust the very browsers you sign into your accounts with any way is actually rather silly. I would understand worrying of browser vulnerabilities ect long before I would that. As for keepass, it has plenty of functionality, just not the convenient type you obviously choose to use which is fine, although condemning and stating a product is lacking because it takes effort to use is not really the products fault. Security wise though, well, let's just ask last pass if keepass might be a smarter choice or not. I have seen plenty of post of "users don't want to have too" lately , and that again is their choice, although they have no one to blame but themselves if they run into issue because they prefer that convenience. I have used keepass the way I stated in my last post on it for many years with no issue. I have not had accounts breached or issue password wise. Your statement of if you only have one device, well I had several, it was not hard to take a portable version, make copies, and transfer, as well as storing on that flash drive, quite simple really. Users here seem to get bent out of shape defending their favorite products, you can state why you use something without having to bash others, notice the only thing I have brought up is the "cloud", and that's because those servers are juicy targets "again ask last pass", and can be breached, and will most likely be, well before your personal system ever will. I personally would prefer to lose some convenience to guarantee less chances of incident. Everything hinges on your accounts being locked down and you password security, not something one should approach haphazardly. [/QUOTE]
