Well, I just looked in my password manager and I have a similar number =
of passwords. It looks like about 420 at current count, so I use a =
password manager program. Currently I use LastPass =E2=80=93 using the =
premium version so I can get access on both mobile and desktop. I may be =
migrating to BitWarden this year, after giving it a trial period running =
alongside the other.=20
=20
The two main advantages I see are [1] I only have to remember a single =
[long, complex] master password, as opposed to trying to remember =
various for each site, and [2] the software generates long, random =
passwords that are near-impossible to break =E2=80=93 especially when =
each site gets its own password [and soon, maybe random generated =
usernames, too]. A sample password would be =E2=80=9C =
No8U6T#r3@nEEsjvlQrknCwJfUGD =E2=80=9D. It would take until the end =
of the universe using current computing to brute force that!
=20
With individual, complex passwords I am more secure knowing that when =
some company I do business with gets hacked, all I have to change is the =
single password they have =E2=80=93 as opposed to trying to figure out =
which other sites I used the same password on.

I have a password system that allows me to create a unique password for =
each site, but I can figure out what it is by the system if I have =
forgotten it. I keep a list for backup (on paper), but this has served =
me well. Obviously I don't want to go into too much detail, but =
everything that needs a password has one unique feature, and one feature =
tying it to a group. Since you all are clever people, you can figure =
something out. Add a common element to make the passwords long enough =
(passphrase or acronym) and you are good to go. You wind up with some =
combination of [common part + group part + unique part] The hardest =

Jim,
I can't say for all, but I just bought a "U" window AC unit. There is =
an app for
it you have to down load. When we did, it wanted access to everything =
on our
smart phone. So we deleted the app. It doesn't need access to anything =
on=20
my smart phone. =20
This how "smart" thing is getting rediculous. All these web sites that =
require a=20
log on to even "window" shop. I now have about 400 passwords, and I'm =
supposed to remember them? Same thing with apps. If I can go to a site =
with
my browser on my desk top, WHY do I need an app to do the same thing on =
my
cell phone? I've quit going to all those sites. But I doubt they will =
get the=20
message.
