Question from John: Rick, I’ve seen multiple articles regarding the dangers of using password managers or storing passwords in browsers.
Ok, I get it, but the flip side is also very daunting.
For me, I have over a dozen Internet accounts, and keeping track of all those passwords without some kind of automated manager is almost impossible.
Believe it or not, each and every password is extremely complex and UNIQUE.
Here’s an example of one password: A422A#5zkhN32B
This does not bode well for memorization.
I refuse to use any password manager that stores this information anywhere other than my local computer. Roboform used to, but now stores in the cloud.
I would be very interested in your recommendations for this situation. Thanks.

I have written many times about why it’s so important to protect your family’s WiFi network by enabling encryption on it and locking it down with a strong password.
There might come a time when you’ll need to log in to your router’s control panel to change a setting (most likely the password for your Wi-Fi network).
