Password Protector Apps?

Postby Canis lupus » 11 Apr 2017, 12:30

I've noticed Avast! scan check now flags various "unsafe" passwords stored on Internet history (which I now delete automatically).

Last night, Firefox warned me that BCB website was unsafe, due to unencrypted passwords.

Is a encryption app now of paramount importance?

I get pop-up Avast! Ad for cheap (€2 per month) application to protect my PC passwords. Does anyone else have it / recommend it?
or any other free ones that do the job better)?

Much obliged in advance ;)

Some browsers are starting to mark sites as unsafe if the connection isn't encrypted.

The encryption side of things is handled at the server. I will be adding encryption support to the site sometime in the near future.

Can you really trust these things with your passwords? Seems like a go to place for hackers to get all your passwords.

I've stopped letting browsers save my passwords.
