Hi Severin and All Happy New Year and 2017 be gentle and generous to you All!
Like so many others, I have been using 1 Password, following the recommendations of Peter Hinchliffe and Ronni Brown and a few others, for many years now and simply could not live without it. It syncs efficiently via iCloud, and I do not need to worry about the many passwords I have when I travel. 1 Password is there providing the many services available and in seconds - banking, software registration numbers, various secure web sites etc etc. It has proven to be well worth the small expense involved in its purchase. When I see the problems members of my family or friends encounter when they loose their passwords and the panick engendered, I am glad I purchased this application. I know I am adding nothing new to the thread, but somehow could not resist in voting for this wonderfully efficient application. It may not be the application you need Severin, but for those with many different passwords this is possibly the best password manager available.

However I do not use it for Banking or Paypal (but that may be just me being over cautious). I have seen those Safari invites but 1Password has been so good I ignore them. Just my feedback … not sure if it is helpful. > On 4 Jan 2017, at 9:13 am, Severin Crisp <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Currently my passwords are a mess and rely on an often altered piece of paper > for when mnemonics or memory fail.
