Where do you store your online passwords?

[Itsadoglife]

Does anyone have a central storage place for passwords and log in details? Talking to a friend recently who had lost her husband, she had said that she was pleased they had shared all of their password and log in details so that she could still access accounts, phones, his apps/bank stuff etc. It got me thinking that actually my husband has no clue where our investments are, the log in details etc.

Possibly not the most secure, but I save all of my log in details in a note on my iphone which is face ID accessed. We share a calendar which has a notes section on it, but I'm not sure how secure that would be. Then I wondered about a good old fashioned little notebook stored somewhere safe in the house?

Where does everyone else store their passwords and access stuff?

yes - DH. 2 DS and me all use Dashlane. It handles it really well.

How do you mean store them?

Dashlane is the best thing for this. It creates and stores passwords logins etc.

@JacknDiane where do you keep them to remember them. With so many different passwords, usernames, needs so many characters, supposed to be different for bank etc. I can’t remember them all in my brain so need to keep a record of them somewhere 👍

Bitwarden

My phone and laptop remember them all for me. I just have to remember one “passcode” to let me access them all (or I can use FaceID on my phone).

We each have a secret file on our respective computer that the other knows about.

Ah thanks. I bought a small passwords book but I lost it ( before id even opened it thankfully). Im not computer literate enough to know how to store passwords there. Is these things other posters recommending safe? Wouldn't a hacker know how to access it?
I donf have face ID on my android phone, its a bit older.
I recognise this is a problem but not sure how to fix it.

We have a shared email for anything joint and the password is the same for everything linked to that email but with a word added at the end referring to what it is e.g DogCatAmazon2

If we ever needed each others personal passwords for things we both then store everything else on the passwords app on our phones (Apple) and know each others passcodes so could access if we really needed to, have never had a reason to though.

In a document on my computer. DH knows password and so does adult DS.

A notebook. Not on my phone!

1Password. We’ve used it for years.

Keepass - shared access to passwords.

I don't keep a list anywhere digital as that could be hacked.

I have a random novel that means a lot to me sentimentally, kept on a normal bookshelf. On a random blank page inside I have a numbered list of 20 words.

Every password is 3 of those words picked randomly plus a unique word that is loosely associated with the site. (I don't actually use this one, but think along the lines of "forest" for Amazon).

In a second book in another room is my password list formatted as "7 2 14 forest" which means it's words 7, 2, 14 from my first book, and forest strung together into one long password. I don't write down what site the password is for which is why the unique word is associated.

I read some info on password hacking and length is far more important to security than randomness and having special characters etc which is why I came up with this. I memorised the list without really trying so I rarely look at it these days but it's there for when I can't remember something on a site I don't use very often.
