Password Management Tool

  • There are a lot of tools which try to help you to organize your passwords.
  • We chose KeepassXC' - http://www.keepass.info/

    • It's available for Linux, Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android.
  • We do not recommend to use an online password manager - those are under constant hacker attacks, and lot of them have been already hacked.

Installation

  • Thinlinc: keepass is already installed.
  • Personal computer / phone: download or check the App Store.

Best practice

  • The password manager stores all credentials in one file.
  • This file is encrypted with your master password - Choose a strong password.
  • Save the database file in a directory which is synchronised on all of your devices (phone, tablet, notebook, thinlinc)
  • To synchronize all your devices, drive.math.uzh.ch (I-MATH), drive.switch.ch (UZH, recommended), OneDrive, !Dropbox or GoogleDrive.

  • Practice the use of the password manager!

  • Take care that the sync is always running.

  • You can also put scans of important documents in keepass!
