[DeTomaso] NPC - question about "passwords"

[Will Kooiman]

I use KeePass, which is similar to CipherShed, and VeraCrypt as Terry
mentioned.

Encryption with Excel is very easy to break.  If someone gets your
spreadsheet, they can download a tool on the Internet and get into your
file.

They might be able to do the same with KeePass, but it¹s much harder.

Tools like KeePass have 1 password for the file, and then once you¹re in,
you see a list of entries with URL, username, password.
