![]() I do not know whether that can now be done simply on my phone or not, as I have not needed to do that in several years. In the past, for photos of the passport and normal data, I have had to copy this in using my computer. ![]() But, how many people would be able to guess a password that is over 20 characters long.Īdditionally, I use 1Password to store my passport data and my VISA data. And, to log into it, I use a very long password that is easy for me to remember. The minimum password length that I use is 18 characters. I have either my Apple product or my 1Password choose strong passwords for me. It has been very useful, as I have over 100 logins and I have never used the same login for multiple websites.Īs a blind person using iOS, I have found that 1Password works well for me and has been accessible using voiceover with minor occasional difficulties. I tested both LastPass and 1Password back in 2013 and chose to go with 1Password. Has the ability to capture passwords you use on the web, but that sometimes can create multiple entries for the same website.Adding additional users is also a bit tedious. Takes a bit of effort to set it up including logging in with a long key that they initially give you along with your master password on each device you own.So now it represents an ongoing monthly expense for me. Revenue model has moved from 'perpetual with annual support fee' to a 'monthly or yearly subscription' ($36–$60/yr).Password generator is easy to use and it remembers your old passwords automatically when you update.Many different item types - Login, software license, bank account, email, document (currently 18 different).Personal and family versions - You can selectively share certain passwords with others.Good track record of data availability - Cannot recall experiencing any service outage.Multi-client - Native client for Mac, Win, IOS, Android, and of course a web browser.Web-based interface - Useful if you are on someone else's device or shared computer.Cloud-based with encryption - Probably as good as you will get aside from keeping data locally. ![]() I've been using it for many years across platforms. I use the product on all of my Apple devices: iMac, iPad, and iPod. After using their Mac desktop product for several years, I switched to their subscription (cloud-based) service. Their website provides a good overview of features, etc. The product has been consistently rated as a top performer for many years. As others have stated, a password manager is just as vulnerable to hacking as anything else. We keep a document updated on all userid/password/challenge questions. Written down where only I (and hubby) can see them. ![]() Who cares if they hack that password? Just vary/change the password for the very few websites that are important. Even the CIA and FBI have had employees who have done this with a long prison sentence hanging over them.ĩ8% of my passwords are the same for frivolous websites. ![]() All companies can have greedy or vengeful employees that sell or give out the sensitive information. Then there is the "inside man (person)" possibility. What makes a password manager website immune? Makes no sense (to me) to have an app know or genrate all your passwords. The finger login is good enough for me (it prevented someone from taking my money when they stole my phone).Īside from that, I don't want to pay for "ID Protection" that I can do through my insurance company (The Hartford) or myself. My phone has a bio finger login as does my banking and other services. One of my daughters does know my password for banking. So no way, never, would I use a password management app/service. Absolutely not! Any online service can be hacked. ![]()
