1Password can be totally integrated onto all your computing devices including iPhones, iPads, iMacs (and possibly PCs).
The encrypted 1Password database is saved out to iCloud or Dropbox (your choice) and also a copy is kept on each device you posses, and they are all kept in sync, so that if one is lost you still have access to all your passwords. It is also possible to use someone else's computer (or perhaps an internet café) to access your iPassword database and logon to a remote service as required. Bearing the above in mind, you do not need to remember many passwords except the master password to access 1Password and your iMac logon password (and perhaps a few others). It is difficult to think of a situation where you would not have access to your 1Password information. I suggest you do not need to worry about creating very long cryptic passwords to keep your data safe. You do not need to remember them if you use 1Password. You will find an excellent guide to 1Password here: <http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/catalog#> ³Take Control of 1Password² the current edition was published in May 2014.

My husband and I share 1password and have all our logins, bank accounts and credit card details in it. We find it invaluable. But I have never used the generate password facility because I am scared of losing control ie if a new password is generated how will I know what it is? Obviously it would be more secure to let 1password generate passwords - can someone explain how it works and what happens if I need to enter a password manually.
