Import, export, what’s the difference?

I am curious what experiences anyone here has with password managers and can make any recommendations

How to use them and whether I should keep a record of my regular passwords anyway or do they become obsolete? Also how to manage them across devices

[a fool in paradise]

Whether they ASK or not is of little matter when it is being revealed that software CAN read your login credentials and saved passwords. That's the big takeaway. If they can do it, how possible is it for others to (without asking)?

You should never store your passwords on a PC!
Use a thumb drive/Memory stick to store and edit them.

If I go to facebook, firefox offers to sign me in with email and saved password as my wife or daughter, neither of who have ever been on this PC.

My Microsoft browser gets used once. That is when I download a different browser.

Microsoft sucks.

Microsoft Edge, sucks more.

NOW, are you convinced?

After Microsoft promised that they would abandon my Win7 machine to its fate, and the deadlines passed, they pushed an update that included Edge. So my Edge-free computer (which had 5 other browsers for various purposes, and didn’t need another) was suddenly infected with Edge.

Yikes.

The solution is to install a serious password manager

I suppose the real question is how do you trust the password manager you've chosen to use?

It would be the honeypot of all honeypots for someone like the CIA or NSA to offer a password manager software app, then be able to create a global database of usernames and passwords for its own internal use.

I mean, its not as if the CIA hasn't done this sort of thing in the past.

Yep, NEVER store passwords in the browser. Just disable the ability to do it so that it never asks again.

Using a password manager has changed my life, just made dealing with the zillions of sites easier. Every different site I go to has a randomized 12 character password. Password reuse is common vector for breakins.

Windows ping.

I’m wondering why ANYBODY would be surprised? The new MS Edge is a Chrome-based browser. You need to explicitly tell it not to import passwords and such, IIRC. And MS did not strip out the portions of Chrome that report home to Big Brother, either.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

If you use a browser to keep your passwords you’re hopeless.

This just came in our mail...

We are the BORG: We will lower your shields and add your passwords and technological data to our own.

The encryption used to secure browsers derived from Firefox has been peer reviewed, and is actually better than most people think. Use a password to secure your browser, and it should foil this hack by microsoft.
