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!
