So I hate creating passwords and having to remember so many, but since I've been relying on my memory for passwords when not saving them to my Google account, I tend to forget passwords and have to reset them frequently. I suspect that the simple solution is to just write them down somewhere, but the problem is, where? What if I lose my list of passwords?
What's your method for managing passwords?
At my house we write them down in a large binder that we keep in our locked filing cabinet. It is hard to lose but when passwords change I often forget to update the binder. I now try to also keep a list in my cell phone on a notes page and update them there. I have passwords that have to be update every couple of months. Sometimes I will also take a picture of the change in password to remind me later to update the list in my phone and/or binder. I am not the best at remembering passwords either. Anything that takes effort to keep track of and organize seems exhausting. Anyways I hope you find a method that works for you.
Use a password manager ... I merely have to remember the login of this one app and that app allows me to operate or create/change passwords for every other account or app ...
I use Dashlane and it works well enough for me .... every time i open a new account somewhere dashlane saves the login and password ...
I've made a Google Sheet where I have everything. Yes, it's in the cloud, but using multifactor authentication and biometric login through my phone, I feel really good about it. I've made my wife a collaborator so we just edit as we go.
I think a titan like Google is less likely to be hacked than any one-off password manager app, but no matter what you choose, anything online for managing passwords has risk. But for me, the reward is so high using this method!
I agree about using a password manager. My husband chose One Password several years ago and it has worked pretty well for us. I also gave up on getting really creative with passwords, so I sort of recycle them for non-important stuff (retailers, etc), but use the generated passwords from 1 password for important sensitive information type access (financial, medical, etc.)
ADDitude recommended One Password in an article, too. I might give that a try. Thanks!
I use LastPass as my password manager, but now for the free version you have to choose between using their browser plugin or the mobile app. (If you subscribe, you can use both.)
I've also heard really good things for several years about OnePassword and about Dashlane.
