• Password Managers

    From jp@21:1/5 to All on Sat Nov 4 17:38:33 2023
    Hi All,

    I use 1Password for keeping some track of the many accounts and passwords I have to use. I works well for me.

    But, I cannot make use of the passwords that 1Password generates because from time to time I need to use someone else's computer - at a work place for instance - to log onto some of my accounts. There just is no way for me to make use of the 1Password
    generated passwords in such cases. I make up my own passwords - that I can then remember - so I can log on from a "strange" computer.

    This is really not much of a problem but it does limit what I can make use of 1Password's support.

    Hi Jim,

    I use NordPass password manager. As you, I do not like to use the
    software generated passwords, but NordPass also runs on my phone so I
    can see S/W generated passwords if I like and can then type them on
    another computer. See if 1Password can be used that way or try
    NordPass, they have both free and premium versions.

    Thank you Dan. I'll have a look at NordPass.

    NordPass runs as a separate process on your desktop but a recent email
    from them said that they'll soon be releasing a version that will run
    directly in the browser, probably as an extension. We'll see how that
    works out. BTW, I also use NordVPN, that's where I learned about NordPass.
