Hi! Im looking for a password software manager that is safe to use. I hear of " Darn! Passwords! " & " Robo Form " but are the safe to use. Like will hackers or other user be able to get hold of my password easily ?

HI Shellfish, at work i use a program called Keepass. Works well.
If your password is good enough, noone will get through. If it's just like "fsillehS" then it won't be hard to crack

Hi Shellfish, I use a program called "PINS" it's been good for me but I can't remember where I got it from, although I know it's a freeware program but as Garhar says if your password is good enough you'll be OK anyway

I have used RoboForm for many years-- I have several hundred logins-- without this app I would be lost.
It is very safe... used properly-- I set a Master Password in the main program-- this allows me to type once and go anywhere without having to login-- it's ll automatic. Passwords and other info can be encrypted under 5 different types of encryption... and it's done automatically. You can even save stuff like account numbers or security question answers under "safenotes" so you don't have to write them down (and lose them/run them through the washer) I bought the Pro license-- 6-7 years ago-- all upgrades are included-- no subcription fees. I consider it a "CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IT" piece of software. I have never had any kind of malfunction from it... not once in 6-7 years

In digital form --if you have a system-crash-- you can use the restore function to instantly have all your logins/passwords back... at least up to the point of your last backup. I back mine up every 2 weeks or so. It also makes it easier to change your high-security passwords quickly in the event of a site breach (like bank accounts) easier to monitor accounts/credit balances. you log into Roboform-- and with one-click you are on your account... it opens your default browser and logs you in automatically-- and all these settings can be adjusted to your taste. There are probably tricks you can use with this program that I don't even know about-- it is tweakable in so many ways
