Q&A: What’s your recommendation for securely storing passwords?

Posted on April 26, 2024

Question from John: Rick, I’ve seen multiple articles regarding the dangers of using password managers or storing passwords in browsers.

Ok, I get it, but the flip side is also very daunting.

For me, I have over a dozen Internet accounts, and keeping track of all those passwords without some kind of automated manager is almost impossible.

Believe it or not, each and every password is extremely complex and UNIQUE.

Here’s an example of one password: A422A#5zkhN32B

I would be very interested in your recommendations for this situation. Thanks.
