Just use the same password for every account you make online on every site that's difificult to guess, no dictionary words or dictionary words as one word, easy to remember, so there's no need for a password manager :D

AFAIK only LastPass 2.5.0 support IE11.

That is a very dangerous. If your password gets stolen you can loose all your accounts.

This products usually use certain algorithms to decide how strong your password is which is very useful feature.

For instance you use one very unpredictable sentence to create strong password, including special characters.

This is false sens of security if you think that for example dictionary attack does include "password" but not "p4S$w0Rd", "pAs5woRd" or "P/-\s$VV0I2I)".

I don't use any password manager, because somehow I don't trust any of them. So I just try to remember them, but since they're kind of long and I'm forgetful, I often have to reset them :lol:

Is it safer to put a list of password in a notepad or other word processor?

I have installed LastPass but i'm not to sure about it, I do not realy want my passwords to be saved online, I don't trust any type of encryption, can this work in offline mode?

NO, lol. If you want manual way create 10MB encrypted containder using TrueCrypt and store your password notes there.

Not that I know of.

I've been meaning to learn more about TrueCrypt, but I need to spare some time since I'm not a fast learner :D

Is it still not safe if we keep the notes somewhere else, like in flash disk or external drive without any encryption?

It's somewhat tolerable, not safe.

You no worry about stealing your external drive?

You'll need max 20 min to figure out TC, just use recommended settings and encryption.

Ah, there's the "real world threat" (as opposed to the virtual one :D ). I'm more worried about forgetting where I put them, though :lol: or somehow I do something that would make me lose the data inside :unsure:

Trust me when I say I'm not a fast learner lol. I even needed more than 20 mins, plus the time needed to dig Google, to send and receive my Yahoo mails on Thunderbird :lol:

So, I guess for now, I have to reli on my not-so-reliable memory to store those passwords until I manage to learn to use TrueCrypt :lol:
