I use a password manager and all my passwords go into a single password database. It doesn’t matter if something was important (e.g banking) or less important (e.g one time use for a forum).
I am thinking about separating into multiple data bases. Something like:
- personal data
- hobbies
- finance stuff
- throw_away (one time use for forums / downloads …)
I want to get some inspiration and ideas how to separate the passwords.
I don’t bother categorizing them, as someone else said it’s just extra steps, for what? When I need a password it either autofills or I search for it by name.
I took the time to tag accounts in which I used my credit card for automatic payments, which helped me when I had my credit card replaced because of fraud.
I knew where I had to update all my payment infos pretty quickly to avoid a non-payment on a subscription.
Yeah a password manager is mostly used to store credentials and sensitive infos, but it can be useful for its metadata too.
