I don’t have a blog but I read a lot of them. Occasionally I comment, though not often. I quit following a couple of blogs because my comments would not appear. I assumed the blog owner just didn’t like or want my comments and deleted them. Maybe not......<br />Pudge450https://www.blogger.com/profile/13096161371562249151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-84367798325381532712021-04-11T06:10:12.723-05:002021-04-11T06:10:12.723-05:00I type all my passwords and print them off on an i...I type all my passwords and print them off on an index card and then don't save them on my hard drive.

If I'm away from my house, it can be tricky but most of the time I'm at home on my laptop and not on my cell phone. I tried a password manager and it didn't work for me.

It encrypts my passwords so that they aren't stored in legible form like Chrome or Safari does so even if things get hacked, it is impossible to use unless they know the main password. Another advantage, is that since it is web based, I can access those passwords from any computer, phone or tablet device, not that I recommend one do so in case data loggers have been installed. But it comes in handy if all I have is my smart phone and need to get into a password secured website. Probably the biggest advantage for me is that I never need to know but the main password. I type that when I log in first thing and the password manager takes over at that point and enters all the passwords automatically as I click to the site. It will also automatically let me change to a new password at the click of a button which is really handy if a place I frequent gets hacked.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36183952.post-16622456658061376212021-04-10T09:58:40.628-05:002021-04-10T09:58:40.628-05:00I know for sure that if they were to come inside y...I know for sure that if they were to come inside your house and figure out your computer password (mine is only 4 digits), they sure could. But if we are going anywhere overnight, I usually take my computer with me. And yes again, a good hacker in India could surely hack your computer, password or no password. This week Facebook and some other sites had ALL their accounts hacked and put online for others. They suggest everybody change their passwords. Whew! If they can do that, they can do anything they want with little old me. Another of those risks that I decided to live with. Donna.
