Q: Is third party password software still needed

I use 1Password and it is a mess right now withe syncing because of where I purchased the same app versions from. App store & Agile bits is a no go.

Lots of workarounds and I am tired of it.

 

Do I still need it for banking online or is the Mac & Safari safe for password and data.

    That is totally up to you.  Depends on how cyber paranoid and/or concerned you are.  Or also if your bank has been hacked previously.

    Another good password manager utility is Dashlane.  Best of all, it's FREE!  I use it along w/1 Password.


    Do a Google search for free password managers.

    Have you tried using Dropbox to sync?
