OT: password manager/VPN

[RivaDawg]

Do you use a password manager and/or VPN? I currently have an iPhone and IPad. I have a laptop, but never turn it on.

I’m more interested in if I should use a password manager than VPN, but see some of the VPN’s come with a password manager. I signed up for a site the other day that generated a “strong” password and thankfully it saved in my phone.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I switched from manual password management to using Bitwarden about 3-4 years ago. One of the best--and overdue--decisions I ever made. Bitwarden is excellent; it's open-sourced and free, with the premium edition only costing $10 a year. I use it on all browsers plus my phone. Look into it.

The worst part of going with a password manager is the very beginning as you load all of your site and account data into it. That was a multi-week extravaganza for me.

But trapper keeper comes with it's own set of issues.

I have the Keeper app on my phone and iPad. I couldn’t do it without it. It’s the first thing that I do when I establish a new account, I put the login and password in keeper.

I use LastPass for password Manager and Opera browser, it has built in VPN. Free versions of both is what I use but you can "upgrade" both to increase features

Personally use 1Password which is more iPhone/Apple centric. It has a family plan where multiple family members can have accounts under one sub. Useful as you can place a login in your shared folder and all other family members can access it. Works well for us. Have heard good things about bitwarden but haven’t looked into it as don’t want to deal with any migration process.

I’d avoid Lastpass like the plague. They’ve had some major security issues in the past. Most recently one they have never fully disclosed although there’s enough circumstantial evidence all pointing to them as the common denominator.

+1 for 1Password. Lastpass doesn't have a Chinaman's chance of keeping passwords safe.
I stick with NordVPN for the P2P feature.
