That was a bit of a dumb thing to do

[Jan Hurst-Nicholson]

I have a book filled with scribbled user names and passwords, so decided to tidy up the important ones and type them into a list (no - I don't keep it on my computer, just print it out for myself.)
Several of the passwords begin with letters, so I carefully typed them in and printed out the list. Then I had the problem with Chrome and had to use Explorer and enter the passwords again. I couldn't figure out why some of the passwords kept failing. When I checked back with my scribbled list I realised that as I'd typed out the passwords Word had automatically changed the first letter to a capital letter  . Just relieved that I discovered the problem.

Notepad is a better solution ;-)

I've used LastPass for years. Not a single regret.

I'm tempted, but my concern is what will happen WHEN they get hacked?

I've been using Roboform for years (from before they had a cloud version). I have mine on a thumbdrive which houses the app and the passwords. I make regular backups to a memory card.

Looks like Roboform still offers the downloadable version along with a cloud version - do check their site to confirm.

"Am I required to store my data on your servers?

No, you can always turn Sync on or off. However, certain features such as Secure Sharing and Web Access do require it."

I've done my research, and I'm comfortable with the steps LastPass had taken to prevent and mitigate potential hacker damage. But, I also use 2 step authentication where it's offered.

My worry is that anything on your computer is open to the guy who fixes it. If something goes horribly wrong and you can't even get into the computer you can't erase stuff before handing it over.
I've just made a digital will and handed over the info and passwords separately to the executor.

Having worked in the tech arena for many many years, I believe at some point in time most--if not all--software password protectors will be hacked.

As a Mac user, my approach is to create different complex passwords for all my accounts, and then store that document inside a dmg file on my computer. Of course, that dmg file itself has a long complex password also. But I only need to remember that one password.

My backup in case my of a catastrophic failure is that I have printed out that document and have stored it in locked steel box inside my closet.

Notepad is a better solution ;-)

I love Notepad.  It loads almost instantaneously and doesn't do all the screwy stuff that Word likes to do.  I've got a ton of Notepad files that I use for a "series Bible" for my current series.

I've used LastPass for years. Not a single regret.

I tell Firefox to remember the passwords.  Like you, I have no regrets.   

...I have mine on a thumbdrive...

I also back mine up on a thumb drive.  I do the "show passwords" thing in Firefox, and then I take screen caps.  I've got the screen caps on the thumb drive.  The reason for doing screen caps is so that I know nothing has been changed from one program to another (as Jan has experienced).

Which reminds me... I probably need to update those screen caps.

I follow a similar approach to most here. But highly tiered.
I use 2FA where available.
I have a secure Password Manager (ewallet) on my computer. I do a wifi sync with the Android version on the phone. Nothing in it goes near the cloud. I use it for info that I am most concerned to keep secure. It doesn't auto anything.
I use Lastpass. This is for other stuff. I do use it to autofill.
I use Chrome for passwords where I have no need for security, but do value convenience.

The passwords for the password managers aren't written down anywhere.

Someone, somewhere needs to have access to your digital stuff in case something happens to you. When you make a will you also need to make a digital will.
