3. 1Password has been a part of my daily life for years.

Dec 2020

I’m using it to store hundreds of unique passwords, credit card and bank information, secure notes, software licenses, email account details, Internet router data, ISP account information, tax details, URLs, and much more.

It would alert me if a password I use appeared in a database of known hacked passwords. It lets me know if any of my passwords are old or not unique. It generates passwords for me to my specifications (and lets me override the recommendation if I want to). And it has browser extensions to let me use a shortcut to enter passwords, credit card info, and personal details on websites easily. (It also alerts me if a website isn’t using https for security.)

The cost is reasonable, and there’s a 30-day free trial option so you can try before you buy. And there are multi-user options for families. More info here: https://1password.com/
Security information here: https://1password.com/security/

FYI - I don’t work for them, but I’m a very enthusiastic and satisfied customer.
