  1. I am sure your video content is awesome, unfortunately, like individuals like me that are intimidated by the prospect of a 'Password manager', you are speaking way too fast to follow, my loss, let me look somewhere else for guidance, because I am really interested in setting up a password manager.

  2. Now i am TOTALLY confused. I thought the idea was that the pw manager should generate secure passwords, not that you have to create them yourself for every site?

  3. Wait… what's the difference in printing out the passwords and keeping the pages aside? I mean, is it seriously this difficult to make a password? Mine range from 16 to 25 characters long, and I've never stored them in any web browser extension or whatnot digital.

  4. I'm still at odds with why I should care! If you wanna pay my bills, here you go…no strings!
    Water bill = password
    Gas bill = password
    Electric bill = password
    Insurance = password
    Have fun!

  5. I'm currently using password managers, but I didn't always. Instead, I had a password management system, using Google Docs, and obfuscating the logins stored. I still construct my own passwords, but I retired my old system of managing them, and let the professionals do that part for me. Bitwarden and Zoho Vault are very good choices for browser extensions, and KeepassXC for local storage of credentials.

  6. I am assuming that the entire password database is encrypted using the master password. What stops the password manager app to leak master password to outside world ? Where is the master password stored ?

  7. I notice in the PW manager, your passwords are dots (hidden). If you've forgotten your password, how are you meant to be able to read it?

  8. The more I learn about this PW manager the less I like it….I would consider it "only" if I could keep my current pass words and not have any site change them…

  9. So the password manager has very strong and complex password, which allows me to access all the other passwords as needed. Why is it better than using the same very strong complex password for all my accounts?
    I have a filling that if someone breaks my manager’s master password he has access to everything.

  10. I have been using 1Pasword for the last year, (highly recommended), you can open the vault and "view in large type" the required password and each character is numbered. All my passwords are at least 16 characters long.

  11. There are many loose ends even with a password manager like how reliable the app is? Is it secure enough? What if device is destroyed? Are there backdoors? Ultimately, to keep your stuff safe, it takes a mindset, not some fancy tool is like a black box which you fully not aware what's it doing behind the scenes. A intelligent person never trust such apps and do everything by himself.

  12. This sounds like another case of sacrificing safety for convenience. Taking all your passwords and putting them in a single place behind ONE master password? What is there to protect the master password? I know i'm probably missing something that makes this ultra safe, but IDk lol. Appreciate the video

  13. Some questions:
    1. I assume you want this take over browser password storage, but does it function to auto populate credential fields? That appears to be the case in the video but I just wanted to confirm.
    2. Presumably this works across all of a person's devices?
    3. Is there such a thing as a physical password manager that I could plug and play with the same functionality?
    4. Related to the last question, seems like password managers would be a target for hackers and governments. How secure are these platforms?

  14. Just a thought 1. The one that provides that password manager service can also access to all yours. 2. What if hackers can hack into your password manager vault and all the rest of your password? 🙂

  15. Maybe I am missing something but how is this any different to what I have now which is a document with all my passwords in one location that is password protected by one main password? If the main password is compromised then every other password is too?

  16. Let’s say I only have an iPhone device and my phone breaks and I need to buy one. But I decide to buy a OnePlus phone. What happens in this case?
    Let’s say you don’t have your phone available (left it in the car, etc) but you are using your friend’s computer to do something important. Those are the things that hold me from using a password manager.

  17. What if all personal information on FB is not real could we use that FB account to login any websites instead of using email and passwords generated by the password manager? The password manager is still used for that FB account and. All important login.
