There are some programs that have lousy encryption. Check the
manufacturer to see if this is one of them.
It is not recommended to have only one or a few passwords, because if
you are compromised in one place you will be compromised in all.
Thus, if you do use biometric encryption, use some other as well:
something you have plus something you know is better than just
something you have.
That said, there are a lot of passwords that don't mean a thing: your
password to the NYTimes or Washington Post website: no money is
involved from your point of view. This is, IMnotsoHO, an instance
where there is no reason not to use the same password. On the other
hand, use a distinct password for each Email account or for Amazon or
other accounts where money is involved.

In order to keep this from happening again, is there a
recommendation for a good and secure program to keep track of
usernames/passwords by using a master password?
Why not get one that uses a biometric key?
