What is the best ,and safest way to save passwords?

@goldensrbest

I save my passwords in a section of my iPad tablet called “notes.”

As my program updates, it saves the passwords for DH’s devices also.

Chrome browser saves them also.

Old School:  Write them down on a piece of paper & keep in a safe place that only you know about.

PW are no good if you need one to log-on & all your pw info are on your comp or on mobile devices!

New School:  Use a Password Manager - your browser and/or 3rd party software.

Then switch to "old school" by printing out the pw & keep in a safe place & your HD.

I have an address book that I repurposed as passwords book 

I let google save some but not critical ones

Having to remember and keep track of passwords is the worst part of using the Internet.  I've tried several method and finally decided to go old fashioned and use an address book.  I can find them quickly since it's alphabetized.

            If you've requested that your browser save your passwords to auto-fill them, you can look them up in the browser/device itself where they're stored, so you don't need to keep additional, manual copies.   The info is already saved, organized, and updated for you.

            As an example, on an iPad, for Safari:

Go to Settings-->Safari-->Passwords

Enter your passcode

You'll see a list of all the sites 

Tap a site name

The login info will be displayed

            For any browser or device, just do an internet search for something like "how to view saved passwords on [Firefox, Chrome, etc. -- fill in this space with your choice]" and you'll see simple instructions.

@Mz iMac  I'm old school too.....i printed out all of our passwords then deleted the file.  I left a lot of space between each password so I would be able to pencil in additions.  The four sheets of passwords are in plastic protective sheets and placed in a binder.
