[Ham-Computers] Passwords

[Dan Violette]

I am liking LastPass.  Only one I found that matches the ease of using my
WORD document (printed but with mnemonics for me for my PWs and maybe
usernames).  Slight learning as all would need.  But now that I am used to
it as fast (or faster on my browser) than getting my note paper.

Uses PW to get into (can make it a tough/long phrase).  Only one you need to
know.  Creates random passwords to your specs (length and whether needs
caps, numbers special characters).

Access via browser plug-in (easiest and can even launch your site and log in
in one click), LastPass web site, iOS (iPad/phone - if fingerprint or face
ID can set to log in with that), expect Android too.  Can copy password and
paste or browser/iOS can autofill.

Can keep credit card info, addresses for autofill and keep Secure Notes for
the miscellaneous stuff you need to look up once in a while.

Again,  the password monster has reared his ugly head!
 
It seems as though you must have a password to go poop. . . .
 
The question is,  is there a PW program  ("vault",  etc.)  that works well?
If a hacker can get into your machine and steal banking info etc.  what
would keep the same  hacker from getting into the PW program?
 
What,  if any,  pgms have you guys used and what do you think of them?
 
Thanks
