====== Password Managers Tomsguide ====== From: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-password-managers,review-3785.html Cloud vs. Local Management 1Password and KeePass primarily store the user's "vault" of passwords and other sensitive information locally, i.e. on one of the user's own devices. There's a security advantage to that, as none of the data has to ever reach the internet, but it can be a hassle to synchronize the vault with other devices. Far more convenient are cloud-based password managers, which include LastPass, Dashlane, Keeper and True Key. These services keep encrypted copies of your vault on their own servers and make sure all your devices are always synced. {{https://img.purch.com/o/aHR0cDovL21lZGlhLmJlc3RvZm1pY3JvLmNvbS81L1EvNjI4NzY2L29yaWdpbmFsL3B3ZC1jaGFydC0xMTE2LWFsbC5qcGc=?}} ====== Security Fail: Apple iOS Password Managers ====== From: http://www.informationweek.com/security/encryption/security-fail-apple-ios-password-manager/232602738 "Most people who develop password keepers, I believe they're very good programmers, but they need to study security," said Elcomsoft's Dmitry Sklyarov.
