• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Can't decide whether to start using one or not. Tied in and eggs in one basket come to mind.

Currently I have a selection of passwords that I reuse depending on how important the login security is. Not ideal as all passwords should be cryptic and all different. A password manager can generate complex passwords and make them available on multiple devices.

I can usually remember my passwords now. For some I write down clues to them that only I would know. Now and then I forget completely what I used and have to go through a reset procedure. on the plus side I've never found myself unable to get back.

So a manager would improve security but makes me dependant on that program. I have kasperskys manager installed as part of their total security package... can't decide if I should start using it...
 
I use 1Password on my iPhone to store my passwords as I have so many that I was getting annoyed with forgetting them.

Don't use it for auto population just purely as an ID and password log, works well for me.

Cheers

There's an article in the ST which reckons iPhones are pretty secure.
How dangerous is it to keep passwords on your phone?

I tend to use various alterations on certain names or phrases which I change fairly frequently -though on sites I'm not too concerned about I use the same or similar one.

I rely on Keychain on the Mac. However, I do have a s'cheme' of making passwords reasonably memorable. The downside is that just recently I've been getting lazy and letting Safari suggest the password which is impossible to remember! So if Keychain goes, I'm stuffed. They are just forums so not the end of the earth.
