BRITISH AUTHOR RICHARD Adams, the author of the much-loved classic novel Watership Down, has died at the age of 96, a statement on the book’s website said today.
“Richard’s much-loved family announce with sadness that their dear father, grandfather and great-grandfather passed away peacefully at 10pm on Christmas Eve,” the statement said.
The tear-jerking tale is about a group of rabbits searching for a new home after the destruction of their warren, encountering perils along the way.
The book, his first novel, was published in 1972, made into an animated film in 1978 and was later into a television series which ran from 1999 to 2001.
He told an interviewer that the book started out as a story he told his two young daughters during a long car journey and the novel is dedicated to them.
The book is taught in British schools and he even created “Lapine”, a fictional language, for it.
Adams also wrote Shardik and The Plague Dogs.

But if someone hacks into your password manager account, they have access to everything.
They can use the rubber hose attack on you and gain access to everything too :)
You can choose to sync 1 password between your mobile and laptop over your wifi (both devices must be on same network), iCloud or Dropbox. I sync mine over wifi so all my passwords are only stored locally on my laptop & mobile. 1password app is encrypted and you need to remember 1 cryptic password to access it.
I have a password manager. It’s called “my brain”, and it’s important to exercise it daily.
I’m a fan of 1Password AND 2-step logins.
Two factor rather than the two step .i.e something you know + something you have ( challenge response – one time password, .i.e soft token on yourphone protected by finger print ( biometrics)

1password is great, but not free. Use it for personal stuff and keepass for work.
1password. Beaten.

Lastpass. Beaten.

Keepass is the pick of the bunch. Though why not go the extra mile and keep Keepass within an encrypted volume as well as make use of two factor authentication?
Hmmm,
1Password has been updated since 2012, and it’s ironic you would try to promote another product using one excerpt from the 1Password creators blog.
That’s very old news. And fixed. The rest of the advice in the link is invaluable.
My point was that two of the 3 products recommended in this article have been beaten. Keepass is essentially bulletproof, aside from user error.
I’ve no affiliation to any product. The old adage applies, whatever is built can be reverse engineered. Overall, the onus is on the end user really.
Keepass is Windows only and it’s free, which is admirable.
1Password works on Windows 10 and OS X and iOS.
You pays yer money…
It is available under Mono.
It’s simple, use an Excel spreadsheet with headings of accounts, username and password for all online accounts. Then use Microsoft office in built password system to secure the document. Pick a really strong password and you only have to remember the password to open the document. To use when out and about mail it to yourself.
Writing you password on a post-it note and stick it under your keyboard why don’t you.
Excel is the best spreadsheet program out there IMO but it’s not the best (or even close) password manager. Horses for Courses.
Unless you work for Sony
Switched to LastPass after the big LinkedIn breach a few years ago. It’s a fantastic tool and addon for chrome browser.
Simple to use and open source. You can even run it completely locally using private files if you want. Elegant little solution to the problem.
Lastpass, 2-factor and a YUBI key for the all important main Google account
