Let’s face it—some of us are total password hoarders. With countless accounts to manage, remembering them all can be a full-time job.

Thankfully, tools like password vaults, passkeys, and other secure solutions have come to the rescue, making life easier and helping us keep our sanity intact. :brain:

So, what’s your go-to method for managing passwords?

We use Keeper Security. In addition to keeping the passwords secure, a business account for a person includes an additional Keeper Family License for the user. While the Family license is linked to the business license, the account itself is separate.

The business account has an admin portal, which allows me to add/remove users as well as manage shared folders within the application. I have it set up that if a user leaves, I can migrate the saved passwords to a different account for archival purposes or to provide those credentials to the new employee in that position.

I mainly link to this because that is an image from my desk (but no, that isn’t really my password):

For me, I use a password manager both professionally and at home (and with my extended family). I do my best to make sure passwords are unique as it is more a game of making it more annoying for others than it’s worth. Part of that is using MFA… which I annoys some in my family, but then I remind them that it is not only less annoying than someone getting their credentials, but even less annoying than trying to remember what password goes with what site (one of my family members really did use sticky notes and one time couldn’t remember which one went with which site :man_facepalming:).

I use the part of my brain that used to be tasked with remembering phone numbers.

And waaay better than having to remember your parents passwords as well. Apparently the moment I was born I automatically became the password keeper :roll_eyes:

I’ve used KeePass for years. Keep the data file backed up, and it works well.

Excel file with a main password, saved on PC locally. I wish we could do away with the stupid things. Most the time at work I find I remember some passwords for a little while, then reset them often to something stupid i’ll forget anyhow do what I need to then reset them the next time I need to use that thing. Sometimes they are so much work I feel like it be less work to recover a breached account or cancel a credit card.

I must be using the part of my brain that remembers names. Passwords are easily recalled, names not so much.

used LastPass for years - then moved to Bitwarden after the LP breaches brought forth how poorly LP took security for it’s customers (i.e. not moving then iteration count forward for older customers).

At work we use 1Password. It does the job, for my personal account I use Roboform.

We utilize an old CRM software called Goldmine we purchased back in 1990. The software still runs in latest versions of windows without issue.

As for end users, I’m GUILTY…I use Excel…there are times when I need their logins and they always forget. I do plan on making that more secure next year.

For me, I do use Microsoft Edge…it is protected by password / Windows Hello and good enough for me right now.

But overall, I could do better…and be more secure overall.

Use as few accounts as possible.

Each admin (SQL admins, Exchange admins, ERP admins) would have a few roles…then they use their own Domain Account to access the servers…
