I, too, like to, at my own pace, switch between tasks of differing nature. Sometimes, I need to stay focused for a loooong time. At other times, I hop between many small tasks during a day. And sometimes it makes sense to hop off of a long task for a breath of fresh air 🐸

For people who will keep on writing down their passwords, this is an interesting analog answer: https://passwordbook.org Print them a book. (yes, this is bad. It is arguably better than what most non-technical people have)

if on apple stuff: strongbox is quite nice

if you are on apple: I migrated from 1password to Dropbox passwords now to Apple passwords

basically just to avoid another subscription. if they don't mind a subcription, 1password is probably best, but Apple passwords is good enough for me

strongbox = you own the password store. I wouldn't rely on apple password alone

ex: I can have the .db file on dropbox/icloud/google drive

(all 3)

ah it's based on keepass. I've seen that recently from someone who was using https://keepassxc.org/

if apple decides to shutdown your account, it gets nasty

yeah

I don't mind storing my passwords with apple because I can easily export the passwords and dump them in an encrypted container

it's easy to move from it if needed

does keepass / strongbox also support those 6 digit numbers for 2FA? and passkeys?

yes

it's a one time buy also

if you choose to go that route

the only downside, it's no longer open-source (it used to be)

I think I would go keepassxc if I cared enough about that (I don't)

you can probably use both if you need to on the same .db?

yes you can

I just read that if you disable icloud on your machine, you can still fully use apple passwords so no worries here

just syncing won't work, but still able to migrate

the worst case scenario is if somebody steals your laptop unlocked I guess

(I don't know if there's an extra layer of security with Password, never used it)

then you still need to fill in your laptop password to use it

ah

and you can probably lock it using Findme or whatever they call it

My wife and I are both happy users of Bitwarden. She definitely counts as non-technical. 😁

thx all!
