So, I'm going through my usual panic again...you know...when some company of forum sends you THAT email...the one that says, "oh, so sorry...we just realized we were hacked...about 6 months ago and some or all of your personal data, email, user name, hashed passwords etc. etc. appear to have been taken and no doubt shared on the dark web...Soo, you may want to change your password and check your credit report".
Ugh.
My question here is has anyone used a password manager app before, (like LastPass, LogmeOnce, PasswordBoss, Keeper etc., etc. ) or even just letting iMac (desktop or their cloud passkey storage) or even Chrome to keep all your passwords "safe" in one place?
Are these a good idea or are they just a treasure trove for hackers to get ALL your ID\PWs in one place if they hack and crack one master password for your password manager account?
If they ARE a good idea, why?
And then any recommendations, (I have a PC, MAC, android devices, so would need something totally cross platform.)
Since these work with web based sites, would they work for security camera direct GUI log ins as well?
