![]() ![]() ![]() I do have Google Chrome Portable on my PC as my backup browser. I’m keeping them for a few more days until I’ve decided on LogMeOnce. Settings / Privacy / Clear Browsing Data / Choose What to Clear / Passwords. Assuming LogMeOnce becomes my new password manager, I need to clean out passwords stored by Edge. I have been sloppy in letting Edge store some passwords. Further I need to look at each of the remaining passwords and modify those that LogMeOnce says are not strong or are duplicates. In the next few days, I’ll do the purging. LogMeOnce imported all 196 passwords from LastPass. I am testing another PW manager, LogMeOnce. One family member knows the location and PW to that file. I admit that I already do something along the lines of Alex’s suggestion: I store passwords in a PW-protected file and I keep it up to date. That’s just more log-on look-up and data entry than I want to deal with. Some of these I no longer need, so this is a good time for a purge.īut, even if I end up ditching half of them, I don’t think I want to go so far as Alex’s suggestion of keeping track of remaining PWs using only pen and paper. I was surprised to find that I actually have 196 passwords stored in LastPass. With last November’s hacking of LastPass and, now, possible criminal activity, I am giving up on LastPass. The theft of LastPass password vaults was reported in an earlier AskWoody topic: LastPass security recommendations for its customers: The last section of the above article is titled: So, the suggestion to change all your various passwords and migrate crypto would apply to any LastPass vault contents as of the date of lock down after the theft. “I’m confident enough that this is a real problem that I’ve been urging my friends and family who use LastPass to change all of their passwords and migrate any crypto that may have been exposed, despite knowing full well how tedious that is.” Apparently, one result of the theft of LastPass vaults seems to include the criminal activity of extracting financial assets. ![]()
