[DeTomaso] NPC - question about "passwords"

If you are looking for a good secure way to keep your passwords, try
PasswordSafe https://pwsafe.org

You can use it by itself or add an additional layer of security to the safe
by using a Yubikey https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/ with
PasswordSafe for a second factor of authentication.

This is what the professionals use.

I hope that helps.

Best regards,

     Encryption with Excel is very easy to break.A  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 itA^1s much
     harder.
     Tools like KeePass have 1 password for the file, and then once
     youA^1re in,
     you see a list of entries with URL, username, password.
