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!
