I suspect the above link doesn’t include the complete text of the article available to subscribers but it does include some very good points and is worth reading. I believe their choice for Password Managers is 1Password.

That program has many features, but the most fundamental is that of remembering passwords and autofilling them when needed. Password managers can generate new passwords to input into your apps and sites, and it is recommended highly that each site or app has both a different password, and two-factor authentication, which a password manager can also help you with. To get started, you can install and set up an account with 1password or LastPass. If you have passwords saved in your browsers, you can import them into the password manager. If not, when you log into a site, you will be prompted to have the password manager remember that password for you. Password managers use browser extensions to interface between the password manager and your browser, and there are extensions for Chrome and Edge for both 1Password and LastPass. Thanks.

If I decide to use LastPass or 1 Password they tell me I only have to remember one password. That’s a good thing. I definitely have more passwords than I can keep straight. But, how does that work? Do I have to re-sign in to everyone of the sites I connect with that has a user name and a password? What about the two newspapers I read that have my wife’s user name and password, will I end up changing her password? I use MS Edge for some web sites and Google Chrome for others, does that matter? Does anyone know of a web site that explains this kind of thing? Thanks for your help. Sorry if I’m being slow witted here.
