Secure notes: Let me store notes and stuff securely.Sync: The password should sync between desktop and mobile devices seamlessly.The password manager should be secure: How silly would it be to lose access to your password manager and thus all your logins to hackers!.I looked into some of the best solutions for password managers out there. I believe this is the perk of being one curious mind. One of my superpowers is identifying good projects where I spend countless hours until I have a solution. I knew there was no point waiting or delaying the use of password managers. I spent days, if not weeks, to find the best solutions for managing passwords. I wanted to be smart or at least do whatever was possible to help improve my online security. However, this time I didn’t want to repeat my wrongs. One simple solution was to change the passwords on all the websites one by one.
Imagine someone whose entire world is online and the person realizes that their reused password is already available to hackers. The world came crashing down. I enter straight into the world of insecurity and paranoia. Pwned on 16 breached sites and found 5 pastes. Just like any curious mind, I entered my email address to check if any of the websites where I have ever signed up is compromised. Sometime between 20, I happened to land on. After a few failed attempts at using password managers, I eventually shifted back to my old style of re-using the same password over and over. Mostly because of the not so appealing interface or lack of modern features. I have read about password managers like LastPass, OnePass a few times and tested it for a while but none of them appealed to me. This is where I started looking for a solution. I signup on a couple of websites every day (part of my blogging career), and I can’t possibly create a new password for every website. It was just that I had no solution to my trouble. It wasn’t like I was not aware of the security threat of using same passwords. That despite the fact that I’m a computer engineer and know that this is not a good practice. Since my passwords were very, I considered myself safe. In the initial years of my online career, I was the same and had a few passwords which I used on all the websites.
