Do we really trust password managers that are hosted on other people’s servers?
I know, encryption, blah blah.
I think it comes with the territory.
If we’re talking about computers and devices you own, and are with you at home/carried, then why go cloud?
But do imagine how many people have passwords that give them access to the so-called cloud. This web site is one of them.
Your Free Republic password is stored online, or the cloud if you will.
I literally scores and score of sites and cloud services I manage, and each one has a different password to not just use it, but to maintain and administrate it.
It then makes sense to use a cloud-based password management system. It’s helpful when I’m on the road teaching a computer class or giving a presentation—I then don’t have to worry about getting remembering all the different account names and passwords to my home servers, cloud servers, etc.
And my credit cards, PayPal, etc. All of those are vulnerable. The great thing about my premium online password management system is they are liable for damages if they get hacked and any of my passwords are used illegally!
I pay a little extra, but it is worth it.
