Yes, use a password manager. Unless you&#x27;re a password savant that can remember every character he&#x27;s typed, you&#x27;ll either be re-using passwords (a big no-no), or storing them somewhere. It&#x27;s much more secure to remember one strong password and use randomly generated passwords everywhere.<p>I use Lastpass. They have synchronization across devices on their free tier, which is awesome. You can automatically import passwords from Chrome or Firefox. They even have a &quot;security challenge&quot; that will show you what repeated and weak passwords you&#x27;re using. Lastpass also has some degree of automatic password reset on popular sites, which works pretty well.

Hi, this has been asked before a while ago so I thought I&#x27;d link you to what was answered back then to get you started:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=13298195" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=13298195</a><p>I give a vote for 1Password on Mac but on Linux I quite like Pass.

Try Avast Passwords: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.avast.com&#x2F;passwords" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.avast.com&#x2F;passwords</a><p>It is free and it covers all platforms (Windows, Mac, iOS and Android). Even synchronization between devices is for free.

I have around 100 accounts saved in my password manager so it is impossible now to be without passw. manager. I&#x27;m using SaferPass &gt; www.saferpass.net
